May 2, 2016 - So you received your sample ballot in today's mail - you turn it over and you discover that your party registration is not how you remember registering. It happens periodically and many times we find that voters did in fact register one way, but remember another (we can look up the original digital copy of your voter registration to determine how you marked the form). Nevertheless, it may be that you intended to register with another party - not to worry.
Registration
April 25, 2016 - We will be mailing sample ballots to Orange County voters in just a few days. It's always important to verify how you're registered - especially in a primary election. Why?
April 15, 2016 - Orange County voters who have not voted or had any registration activity in the last four years - we are looking for you! Alternate Residency Confirmation postcards, green in color, were sent to voters (in the last few days) who have no voting history or registration activity in four years. These voters have been made inactive.
How and Where to Register
Registering to vote is the first step every citizen takes to become an eligible voter. Once registered, you can begin to strengthen our democracy by participating in elections and even working at one of our polling places.
If you received an email requesting you to confirm your address and registration, you must confirm your residence address in order to remain on the active voter list. Please take one of the following actions:
I still live in Orange County and my registration information is correct

Life Changes Require a Voter Registration Update
You may have recently moved, became married, or want to change your political affiliation (party). We've made this process easy for you - a quick re-registration will take care of these important changes. You may also make any other change to your voting record, such as mailing address, email address and language preference.
It is important to be aware of all qualifications prior to registering to vote. If you registered online or by mail, you may have to show identification when you vote for the first time. Federal law governs the types of identification allowable to prove residency.
