| Maintaining an Accurate Voter Roll Voter registration records are updated daily based on information provided by voters and official government sources. These updates include new registrations, changes of address, selections of a political party preference, requests for election materials in a language other than English, and notifications that a voter has died. The Orange County Registrar of Voters also regularly compares the information on the voter rolls to databases kept by third parties such as consumer credit reporting agencies, review voter registration files for potentially duplicate records, and encourage voters to re-register when we notice a change in their signatures. These updates added up to more than 974,000 registration changes in 2024 in Orange County – an average of more than 81,000 transactions each month. Also, following the 2024 Presidential General Election, the registration of more than 176,000 inactive voters were cancelled. These voters were made inactive and sent a notice to update their registration prior to the 2022 General Election and did not respond or vote since. Learn more: ocvote.gov/list-maintenance. |

| Use Your Voice for Voter's Choice The Registrar of Voters wants Orange County voters to tell us what they think about how we conduct elections and how we might improve access to voting. After two months of public engagement during community workshops and meetings with community groups, a draft of our Election Administration Plan (EAP) has been posted for public review and comment on our website at ocvote.gov/EAP. The EAP addresses voter education and outreach, Vote Center and ballot drop box operations, accessibility and language services, election security, and contingency planning. The draft EAP 2026-2029 is available in English and in translated versions in Chinese, Farsi (Persian), Gujarati, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog, and Vietnamese, in accordance with federal and state law. Comments on the EAP may be submitted until the close of a September 25 public hearing:
