Countdown to Voting – VBM Inserting
Voting for the June 2, 2026, Statewide Direct Primary Election will open in 18 days! A Vote-By-Mail ballot will be mailed to all Orange County voters no later than Monday, May 4, marking the start of the voting period. Registrar of Voters is inserting about 1.9 million Vote-By-Mail ballots, instructions, and County Voter Information Guides for this election for mailing. The use of checklists and procedures ensure that quality assurance is maintained through every step of the process. The team checks every 100th ballot to ensure the correct ballot is being mailed to the voter, all inserts are present, and the print quality is good. The barcode on every ballot envelope is also scanned to prevent any voter from getting more than one ballot. To learn more, you can watch our video “A Deeper Look – How Ballots Are Securely Printed and Distributed” on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/@ocrov. Neal Kelley Registrar of Voters |
