Registrar of Voters Opens Vote Centers and Pop-Up Vote Centers This Weekend for November General Election
Date

Voters can cast a ballot in person, drop off a ballot or get assistance at locations across the county.

SANTA ANA, Calif. — Oct. 23, 2026 — Orange County voters can begin voting in person for the 2026 General Election on Saturday, Oct. 24 at 10 a.m. when Registrar of Voters opens select Vote Centers.

Thirty-nine Vote Centers will be open for 11 days from Saturday through Nov. 3. An additional 152 Vote Centers will open for four days from Oct. 31 through Nov. 3.

Registrar of Voters (OCROV) will also hold five Pop-Up Vote Center events from Sunday, Oct. 25 through Monday, Nov. 2 and operate a one-day Vote Center at UCI on Nov. 3.

"Voting early means shorter lines for voters and faster results for everyone," said Registrar Bob Page. "Voters can return their ballot at any Vote Center, by mail, or at one of 128 official Ballot Drop Boxes. No matter which option they choose, returning their ballot early gets it processed in time for election night results."

At any Vote Center, voters may vote in person, drop off a Vote-By-Mail ballot, request a replacement ballot, register or update their registration and receive voting assistance. Pop-Up Vote Centers operate from OCROV's mobile voting unit and offer the same services in neighborhoods without a brick-and-mortar Vote Center.
