Two More Weeks of Voting
Voting in Orange County is easy and secure; and voters have several options to cast their ballot prior to or on Election Day on November 5. You can vote early by:
On Saturday, October 26, we will open 38 Vote Centers for in-person voting. On Saturday, November 2, all 184 Vote Centers will open. You can mail or drop off your Vote-by-Mail ballot at any Ballot Drop Box, Vote Center and our office until 8 p.m. on November 5. If mailing your ballot, make sure it is postmarked no later than November 5. You can find out when your ballot is counted by signing up for OC Ballot Express at ocvote.gov/track.

| Vote Early to Get in the First Results Report Vote Early. It’s easy and secure. And, if you cast your Vote-by-Mail ballot early, it’s the best way to have the votes on your ballot included in the first Election Night results report at 8:05 p.m. on November 5. During the early voting period, we can process Vote-by-Mail ballots, including verifying the voter signatures, removing the ballots from the envelopes, and scanning the ballots. We just can’t add up the votes on those ballots until Vote Centers close at 8 p.m. on November 5. We are generally able to scan the votes on Vote-by-Mail ballots within a day or two of receiving the ballots if the voters’ signatures are valid, the voters followed instructions for marking their ballots, and the ballots are not damaged. During the March 5, 2024 Presidential Primary Election, the first unofficial election results report included the votes from 91% of the Vote-by-Mail ballots we received before Election Day. For more information about the easy and secure ways to cast your Vote-by-Mail ballot early, visit our website at ocvote.gov/voting. |

| Why Can’t I Vote in My City Council Election This Year? It could be because your City Council was elected at large in 2022, but is now elected by district. And the Council seat for the district you live in is not up for election until 2026. In this 2024 Presidential General Election, the governing bodies of the following seven cities, one school district, and three special districts will for the first time be elected by district, trustee area or division.
If you live in one of these jurisdictions, you will now vote every four years for one seat on their governing body rather than every two years for two or three seats. Using the interactive Find My District map at ocvote.gov/findmydistrict you can view your current districts and elected officials. |

| Electioneering and Voting Do Not Mix Electioneering inside a Vote Center and within 100 feet of the entrance to a building containing a Vote Center, a Ballot Drop Box, drive-thru ballot drop off or curbside voting location is strictly prohibited. Violations can lead to fines and/or imprisonment. Electioneering includes wearing clothing that displays the name of a candidate or measure on the ballot. Asking a person to vote for or against any candidate or ballot measure is prohibited within 100 feet of any voting location. Petitions also cannot be circulated in the electioneering-free zone. Blocking access to a voting location is prohibited as well. For a full list of prohibited electioneering activities, visit our website at ocvote.gov/electioneering. To report electioneering, call our Voter Assistance Hotline at 714-567-7600 or 888-OCVOTES (888- 628-6837). |

| Conditional Voter Registration Even if you missed the regular voter-registration deadline at 11:59 p.m. last night, you can still vote in the 2024 Presidential General Election. California permits same-day registration and voting, also known as Conditional Voter Registration. You can fill out a conditional voter registration form in-person starting today at the Registrar of Voters (1300 S. Grand Avenue, Bldg. C, Santa Ana, 92705) or starting Saturday, October 26 at any Vote Center. After completing the conditional voter registration form, you will be issued a provisional ballot. If you complete the voter registration form online, you must go to the Registrar of Voters or a Vote Center to complete the registration process and vote a provisional ballot. If you have any questions on conditional voter registration and voting provisionally, visit our website at ocvote.gov/cvr or call our Voter Assistance Hotline at 714-567-7600 or 888-OCVOTES. |
