According to the OC Registrar of Voters, there are 324,890 ballots left to count in Orange County as of Wednesday morning November 6, 2024. So whether your candidate or ballot issue won or lost is uncertain…yet.

Voters can check the current count each day until the vote is certified by visiting www.ocvote.gov. Counties have until December 3 to send the Statement of Results to the California Secretary of State, and each must certify the results by December 5.

1,173,925 ballots have been received so far by the OC Registrar of Voters: 886,544 vote-by-mail ballots (ballots postmarked by November 5, 2024 are valid when received through November 12). 287,381 people cast in-person ballots.

• Left to Count Total includes 123,930 vote-by-mail; 70,262 from Drop Boxes; 87,708 vote-by-mail returned at Vote Centers; 40,631 from Conditional Voter Registrations (for voters who missed the 15-day registration period or are registering on the same day as voting); 2,158 duplicated (when a ballot comes in damaged and cannot go through regular processing); 201 RAVBM (electronic system for disabled voters).
• (Remember when checking the OC results that Congressional Districts can span several counties, and Statewide, Federal offices and ballot measure totals will also differ from results in OC)
