Vote Early at South OC Sites
Don't want to wait until Nov. 6 to cast your ballot? You can vote early at three sites near Lake Forest beginning Oct. 22.
If your sample ballot is burning a hole in your pocket and you can't wait until Nov. 6 to vote with the rest of America in the general election, you're in luck.
The Registrar of Voters has selected a number of Orange County cities as early voting sites, beginning Oct. 22 and lasting through Oct. 30, excluding the weekend.
Early voting is an alternative to vote-by-mail or Election Day voting. Any registered voter in Orange County can vote in cities including Rancho Santa Margarita, Laguna Hills and Irvine, during this time period. Early voting is a help to public responders, employees of local businesses, and any other community members who might face a conflict Nov. 6.
