The OC Registrar started processing vote-by-mail ballots on Feb. 6. The votes cannot be tallied or released until March 5 at 8 p.m.

People who require a replacement vote-by-mail ballot due to damage or accidental marking can get one in-person at the Registrar of Voters, 1300 S. Grand Ave., Building C, Santa Ana, 92705.

As of Feb. 20, 1.8 million people were registered to vote in Orange County. People who missed the regular voter-registration deadline can still vote in the 2024 Presidential Primary Election. California permits same-day registration and voting, also known as Conditional Voter Registration.

Voters can fill out a conditional voter registration form in-person at the Registrar of Voters or at any Vote Center. After completing the conditional voter registration form, the voter will be issued a provisional ballot. Those who complete the form online must go to the Registrar of Voters’ office or a Vote Center to complete the registration process.
