We have been hard at work hardening our systems in advance of the General Election. In fact, you can view our planning in detail in our Election Security Playbook, which provides a roadmap for defending the systems and networks vital to conducting elections in Orange County. We have focused our attention on the physical, cyber and social aspects of our election planning.

Polling place monitors have a right to observe activity within a polling place. They may ONLY observe the procedures. They may not and should not, in any way, be involved with poling place operations and they may not interfere with the general operation of the polling place. In addition, they may not remain if they interfere with or intimidate voters. Our Election Observer handbook provides additional details.
