Vote-by-mail ballots can also be placed in drop boxes around the county. Ballots can also still be mailed, as long as they are postmarked by Tuesday. The county continues to accept ballots for up to a week after Election Day.

The Orange County Registrar’s office had collected 568,179 ballots from the county’s 2.1 million registered voters. Turnout was at 26.95% as of Tuesday afternoon.
