The Orange County Registrar’s yellow ballot drop boxes are one safe and secure way that Orange County voters can cast their ballot.

The drop boxes are:

• Installed in locations with high visibility.

• Constructedwithreinforced steel walls.

• Heavier than 1,000 pounds.

• Bolted into concrete.

• Individually keyed.

• Equipped with a fire suppression device.

Only teams of two election workerscancollectthecompleted ballots from the drop boxes, following strict chain of custody procedures. The Registrar of Voters always tracks the GPS location of ballot collection teams and remains in radio contact with them while they are completing their routes.
