It’s Election Day!
Today is Election Day! And, it’s the last day you can cast your 2024 Presidential General Election ballot, if you haven’t already. Vote Centers and secure Ballot Drop Boxes are open until 8 p.m. Find a location near you: ocvote.gov/voting. To check the projected wait time at each Vote Center, visit ocvote.gov/time. If you want to mail your ballot back, make sure the U.S. Postal Service will postmark it today. We will process all Vote-by-Mail ballots postmarked no later than today and delivered to us by the U.S. Postal Service by Tuesday, November 12. All ballots with a postmark of November 6 or later will be rejected as too late. Vote Easy. Vote Secure. Bob Page Registrar of Voters |

Sign up at ocvote.gov/track to receive text or email notifications about your ballot status. You can also use OC Ballot Express to look up the status of your ballot yourself. On our website, you will be asked to confirm your identity before you can sign up for notifications or check the status of your Vote-By-Mail ballot. If you need assistance signing up for OC Ballot Express, call our Voter Assistance Hotline at 714-567-7600 or 888-OCVOTES (888-628-6837). Note: Given the large number of Vote-by-Mail ballots typically returned on Election Day, it could take two to three days for you to be notified that your ballot was received by the Registrar of Voters as we get these ballots started in the process. |

| Results Posting Schedule The first election results report for the 2024 Presidential General Election will be posted at 8:05 p.m. on Tuesday, November 5 after Vote Centers close. This will include votes from Vote-by-Mail ballots received before Election Day, processed, accepted for counting and scanned. As votes from Vote Centers are securely transported by two-person teams with a Sheriff’s Department escort to our office in Santa Ana, updated results reports will be posted at 9:30 p.m. and every half-hour thereafter until all in-person ballots are included in the results. At the end of Election Night, we will estimate how many Vote-by-Mail ballots we still have to process. We also have a countdown clock on our Current Election Results page of our website so you can easily see when the next results report will be posted. To monitor election results, please visit ocvote.gov/results. |

| Random Draws for Audits To ensure the accuracy of the 2024 Presidential General Election results in the county before certifying them, the Registrar of Voters will conduct two audits. The first step this week is to randomly select ballots to include in the audits. 1% Manual Tally On Thursday, November 7 at 11 a.m., at least 1% of all precincts in the county will be randomly selected. All ballots within the randomly selected precincts will be manually tallied by four-person teams and compared to results. It is expected that the hand counting of all ballots from those precincts to verify the votes tabulated by the voting system software will commence on Friday, November 15. Risk-Limiting Audit On Friday, November 8 at 11 a.m., a public draw will be conducted using dice to generate a 20-digit random seed number. The audit software uses the seed number to randomly select ballots for manual examination by four-person teams to reach a confidence level that the outcome of a specific contest is correct. It is expected that the hand counting of those ballots to verify the votes tabulated by the voting system software will commence on Monday, November 18. You can observe these random draws by visiting our office at 1300 S. Grand Ave., Bldg. C, Santa Ana, or by viewing livestreamed video at ocvote.gov/observe. |
