Ballot Drop Boxes Open
On October 7, two-person teams of Registrar of Voters employees will inspect and unlock 123 ballot drop boxes throughout Orange County for use in the 2024 Presidential General Election.
The ballot drop boxes are one of four safe and secure ways Orange County voters can cast their ballot. They:
- Are installed in locations with high visibility.
- Constructed with reinforced steel walls.
- Weigh more than 1,000 pounds.
- Are bolted into concrete.
- Are individually keyed.
- Contain a fire suppression device.
Only teams of two election workers can collect the voted ballots from the drop boxes, following strict chain of custody procedures. The Registrar of Voters tracks the GPS location of ballot collection teams always and stays in radio contact with them while they are completing their routes. The routes are randomized each day to protect the safety of the employees and the ballots.
Find a Ballot Drop Box near you and learn about all your options for voting by visiting ocvote.gov/voting. |

How to Get a Replacement Ballot
If your ballot is damaged when you receive it in the mail, you may request that the Registrar of Voters issue you a replacement ballot.
You can request that a replacement ballot be mailed to you by visiting our website at ocvote.gov/replacement by October 29. You will be asked to confirm your identity before you can apply for a replacement ballot online.
If you require a replacement ballot after this date, you can obtain one in-person at any of our 184 Vote Centers in the county or by visiting the Registrar of Voters at 1300 S. Grand Ave., Building C, Santa Ana, CA 92705. |
