More County Vote Centers to Open Saturday

By Shawn Raymundo

With the midterm elections just days away, all of Orange County’s Vote Centers are set to open, starting Saturday morning, Nov. 5.

A handful of the Vote Centers across the county opened on Oct. 29, including the community centers in Dana Point, San Clemente and San Juan Capistrano, but on Saturday, voters will have several more locations to drop off or fill out their ballots.

Additional locations include Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in Dana Point, The Volate hotel in San Clemente, and the Capistrano Unified School District offices in San Juan, just to name a few.

Vote Centers throughout the county will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., on Saturday through Monday, Nov. 7. On Tuesday, Nov. 8, Election Day, the Vote Centers will open at 7 a.m., and give voters until 8 p.m. to cast their ballots.

As of Friday morning, Nov. 4, a total of 353,784 vote-by-mail ballots had been returned to the Orange County Registrar of Voters. Nearly 1.85 million ballots were issued this year, according to the registrar’s office.

Of the ballots returned so far, 141,179 of them were filled out by the county’s registered Democrats, while another 127,843 ballots were from registered Republicans.
