This is NOT the sort of drop box you are looking for. Seriously, consult the official list!
(1) CAN YOU STILL VOTE BY MAIL?
Yes — but your ballot must be postmarked by Election Day!!!!!!! That means IN the MAILBOX BEFORE the daily PICKUP DEADLINE!
In California, your ballot will still count if it comes within 17 after the election (5 p.m. on Nov. 20 election. So go ahead and vote by mail IF you’re sure you can follow all of the rules about where to sign, how to mark your ballot, etc. But you have some good alternatives discussed in the next sections? Try a voting center or a real, official, OC drop box!
(2) WHERE ARE THE VOTING CENTERS? (THIS PART IS NEW!)
Vote Centers (which replace precincts) are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day from now through Tuesday evening.
Sometimes it almost saddens me how good OC’s Election System is, because I wish that every voter everywhere could have it so good. I’m going to put a link to a page right up here so you can find it That page gives you THE WAIT TIMES AT ALL VOTING CENTERS! (Same link. It bore repeating.)
Now if you want to locate a vote center, here’s your link, organized conveniently by city:

(3) WHERE ARE THE REAL DROP BOXES LOCATED?
John Earl had a good idea on Facebook, back when the unofficial “Official” Republican Ballot Drop Box saga unfolding, to link to the OC Registrar of Voters’ Page with a list of all of OC’s actually official ballot drop boxes. We go that idea one better: we’re swiping the whole thing, for your ease of access! But please double check with the link, in the event that there are updates, or we had a transporter malfunction and the code got mixed with that of a fly, or Russian Hackers gain access to this site. Still — this is a good starting place!
Open 24 hours from October 5 to November 3 until 8 p.m.

These boxes, unlike the unofficial ones, are hardened against attack and under are under 24/7 surveillance, and (according to reports I’ve seen) are emptied and taken to the OC ROV’s office once every two days (or even more often, as things head up.) So you can vote in confidence that your ballot will get to where it’s supposed to go! (Can the Republican Party say the same? It’s doubtful — but that’s a story for a different day!)
*A word of caution: Either drop off your ballots at one of the 170 Official Registrar Vote Centers which will be open October 31st to November 3rd…..or put it in the US Mail, or drop it personally at the Registrar of Voters Office in Santa Ana. Error on the side of caution in this election please!
I honestly don’t think that going to vote centers relatively early is a dangerous alternative. Now that the fake sites are closed, that’s what I plan to do, to check them out, after which I’ll report back here.
This post has now been updated to include the locations (listed by city) of Orange County’s VOTE CENTERS — as well as a link to a page that tells you how busy they are!
Greg, you have done a most excellent job listing all these ballot drop off places. I know this took a lot of time and energy. Thank you so much!
Mostly it came directly from the Registrar of Voters, but there was a lot of formatting to do.
