How to Vote By Mail

Starting in 2020, every registered Orange County voter will automatically receive a ballot in the mail.

How to fill out your ballot: If you don’t fill out your ballot correctly, it may not be counted. Use blue or black ink, don’t make extra marks, and be sure to sign your ballot envelope. For details on filling out your ballot, click here.

How to Vote In-Person: Vote Centers

Starting in 2020, Orange County voters are saying goodbye to 1-day polling places, and hello to new, easier Vote Centers. Vote Centers make it easier to vote when and where it’s most convenient for you.

At any Vote Center, you can cast your vote in person, drop off your vote-by-mail ballot, and even register to vote or change your party affiliation and vote same-day. Please note that due to COVID-19, the Registrar is implementing safeguards at voting centers like social distancing, frequent cleaning, required masks, and other protections.

Make Sure Your Vote Counts

If you want to ensure that your vote was counted, we recommend tracking the ballot, a service offered by the OC Registrar of Voters. Track your ballot by visiting ocvote.com/track. The Registrar of Voters tracks and reports election updates. Bookmark this page to track results.
