Early In-Person Voting Surpasses Presidential Volume

Our early in-person voting continues everyday through Monday, November 5th. As of last evening total early in-person ballots cast is 18,476 versus 8,389 during 2016 presidential. This represents a 120% increase (we had 5 locations in 2016 versus 8 in 2018).

Polling Place Supply Pick Ups Underway Our popular reservation system for polling place Inspectors to pick up their supplies early has hit record numbers. We have nearly 600 reservations for early pick up, compared to the usual 400 - yesterday alone 375 Inspectors picked up their supplies.


Pop-Up Voting on Orange County Campuses a Hit In recent days we have been at UCI, Saddleback College and Cal State Fullerton. Turnout on these campuses is within (on average) -10% of the turnout during the 2016 presidential election. UCI had 622 voters, Saddleback College, and CSUF 207.


Polling Place Electronic Control Stations All of the equipment for Tuesday's election has been prepared, sealed, checked and re-checked. The electronic control system for voting booths (seen here in the black cases) are being transferred to polling place Inspectors over the next few days. These remain in the custody of the Inspectors until Election Morning.


Post Election Observers We continue to refine our operations for post-election observers. If there are close contests it is typical for volunteers from campaigns to descend on our office to observe the operations - we have created new sign-in procedures, new signage, new communication protocols, and more. Information on post election observation can be found in our observation handbook.
