Get ready to cast your ballot – if you haven’t already done so by mail, that is.
Nearly 40 vote centers open across Orange County on Saturday, Oct. 29. Operated by the Orange County Registrar of Voters, they are “one-stop-shops” for residents to register to vote, cast ballots, receive a replacement ballot, or otherwise get help. Some vote centers will offer a drive-through ballot dropoff option as well.
Vote centers are staffed by teams who receive comprehensive training prior to work, according to the Registrar’s office.
