Santa Ana, CA - February 4, 2008 - The Registrar of Voters will launch streaming video of Election Night activity in our office in time for Super Tuesday.  The public will be able to access three separate views on our website of the hectic pace on Tuesday night as supplies, paper ballots and returns are processed.

These views will include the receiving dock, conveyor tracks which move returns and the vote tally room. Access to the vote tally room is restricted to a handful of full-time staff with a high level of clearance under the guard of the Orange County Sheriff's Department.

“We continue to innovate as we work to provide increased transparency of the election process for all citizens of Orange County," said Neal Kelley, Registrar of Voters. “Over the past several years we have been on the forefront of improving access for interested citizens,” he continued.  

The high resolution stream will be live beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday night and will be broadcast until final unofficial returns are posted for the evening. The link for the live broadcast will be located on our home web page (www.ocvote.com).
