Ballots Are in the Mail
Orange County voters should this week receive their November 3, 2026, General Election ballots in their mailbox, if they haven’t already. Remember to allow a few days for delivery of your ballot. On Saturday, Oct. 3 at 6 a.m., a seven-person Registrar of Voters team began loading pallets of ballots onto eight United States Postal Service trailers. By 9:05 a.m. they had loaded 224 pallets across eight USPS trailers setting in motion ballot delivery to Orange County’s 1.9 million voters. Watch this impressive, synchronized effort in action on our YouTube channel at @ocrov. When voters receive their ballot, they can mark it, then follow the instructions on the official envelope to sign and seal the ballot in the postage-paid envelope provided. If you have any questions about how to cast your ballot, visit ocvote.gov/voting. Neal Kelley Registrar of Voters |

| Your Congressional District May Have Changed California voters approved Proposition 50 in the November 4, 2025, Statewide Special Election. Proposition 50 changed the boundaries of U.S. House of Representatives districts in California. The new boundaries will be used in the 2026, 2028 and 2030 federal elections. As a result, some Orange County voters are now in a different Congressional district than they were before the new boundaries took effect. You can find your current Congressional district – along with your State Senate, State Assembly, and other districts – using the interactive Find My District map on our website at ocvote.gov/findmydistrict. Your Vote-By-Mail ballot is already specific to your current address and district. If you have moved since your last election, make sure your voter registration is up to date at ocvote.gov/registration. For more information about district boundaries and what changed, visit our Redistricting Frequently Asked Questions page at ocvote.gov/faqs/redistricting-faqs. |
