Early Voting – Replacement Ballots
Voters have 19 days to cast their ballot in the November 3, 2026 General Election. If you have already voted and want to check the status of your ballot, please visit ocvote.gov/track. You will be asked to confirm your identity before you can track your ballot. Need a Replacement Ballot? If your Vote-By-Mail ballot is damaged or you made an error marking it and haven’t cast it yet, you can still get a replacement ballot mailed to you by requesting one online at ocvote.gov/replacement. The deadline to have a replacement Vote-By-Mail ballot mailed to you is Oct. 27. You will be asked to confirm your identity before you can apply for a replacement ballot online. If you require a replacement ballot after this date, you can obtain one in person at any of our 192 Vote Centers in the county or by visiting the Registrar of Voters at 1300 S. Grand Ave., Building C, Santa Ana, CA 92705. To find the Vote Center closest to you, visit ocvote.gov/votecenter. Bob Page Registrar of Voters |

| FAQ: What Is the Penalty for Voter Fraud? We know voters have questions about elections and voting, and OCROV is committed to providing clear, accurate information every time. Today, we’re sharing information about the penalties for voter fraud. Willfully lying about one’s eligibility to vote on a registration affidavit is a felony in California, carrying a penalty of up to three years in county jail. The California Elections Code also provides that anyone who is not on our staff who examines another voter’s ballot to determine how that person voted could be fined up to $10,000 and imprisoned for up to three years. OCROV is not an enforcement agency. If fraud is suspected, we refer the matter to the Orange County District Attorney and the California Secretary of State to investigate, and we work closely with those agencies to provide the information needed for an investigation. Several safeguards make fraud difficult in the first place. Every returned Vote-By-Mail ballot and provisional ballot goes through signature verification before the envelope is opened. Our mail sorters scan the barcode on each ballot envelope to give the voter voting credit, which helps prevent double voting. We only count the first voted ballot received from each voter. Voter participation data is tracked and shared with other counties to prevent anyone from casting a ballot in two places. To report suspected voter fraud, call:
