The Supervisor of Elections office has announced that Orange County set a new record for voter turnout on Day One of early voting.

On the first day of early voting, more than 18,150 Orange County voters showed up to one of the county’s 22 early voting locations to cast their ballot.

The county’s previous record was set in the 2020 November General Election, when 16,781 Orange County voters cast their ballot on the first day of early voting.

“Our team has been working overtime to prepare for today as we head into this monumental election,” Orange County Supervisor of Elections Glen Gilzean said. “By adding two more early voting locations, there are more ways than ever for Orange County voters to make their voices heard.”

Early voting in Orange County runs through Sunday, Nov. 3, with each of the county’s 22 early voting locations open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
