VOTE CENTERS AND BALLOT DROP BOXES

The Orange County Registrar of Voters have transitioned to a new way to vote in Orange County. Vote Centers mean many more options for voters. Elections are no longer a one-day event. Voting begins the month before any election day when every voter will receive a vote-by-mail ballot. Take advantage of the alternatives available to avoid congestion - from voting at home, drive-thru ballot drop-off, in-person options, returning your ballot via the United States Postal Service, or personally deliver your ballot to a Vote Center - the choice if yours. For further information related to Vote Centers and Ballot Drop Off Locations, please visit the Orange County Registrar of Voters website.
