No postage is required, but it must be postmarked by today, June 2. Because of changes to how the Postal Service now postmarks mail, you\u2019ll want to request a manual postmark from an employee when you drop off your ballot at a post office because there is no guarantee it will otherwise be postmarked by Election Day. And if it\u2019s postmarked a day or so later, it won\u2019t be counted.<\/p>\n<p>The Orange County Registrar of Voters, at ocvote.gov, is expecting to release the first unofficial results at 8:05 p.m. These are early vote-by-mail ballots that had been fully processed ahead of June 2.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The first unofficial results from in-person voting will come at 9:30 p.m., with additional updates planned every half hour until all in-person votes are included.<\/p>\n<p>Still, don\u2019t expect winners to be determined as early as Tuesday night. Ballot counting can take several days \u2014 or even weeks \u2014 to complete, meaning close races may take some time before a winner is crowned.<\/p>\n<p>And state law prevents county election officials from certifying results until voters have a chance to fix signature issues with mailed ballots. This year, the earliest Orange County Registrar of Voters Bob Page can certify the primary election results is June 26.<\/p>\n<p>The Orange County Register, at ocregister.com, will provide regular, live updates online along with reactions from candidates and experts.<\/p> <div>\n<\/div>\n<h4>What\u2019s at stake in Orange County<\/h4>\n<p>The major contest at the top of the ballot, of course, is the race to replace termed-out Gov.\u00a0Gavin Newsom.<\/p>\n<p>California\u2019s\u00a0\u201cjungle primary\u201d election system means that in most cases, including the gubernatorial contest, the top two vote-getters in the primary, regardless of party affiliation, will move on to the general election in November.<\/p>\n<p>In recent days, the\u00a0race for governor has tightened, with polls showing Democrat Xavier Becerra leading the crowded field and Democrat Tom Steyer and Republican Steve Hilton jockeying for the No. 2 spot.<\/p>\n<p>A number of other statewide races are on the ballot, including ones for lieutenant governor, secretary of state, controller, treasurer, attorney general, insurance commissioner and superintendent of public instruction.<\/p><p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/siliconvalleymovingpost.com\/?p=11510\">Russian attack kills at least 18 in Ukraine, some of them children buried under rubble<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In Orange County, a trio of Assembly races has drawn a bevy of candidates, along with oodles of money from groups associated with Airbnb, Google and Meta, as well as casinos, crypto and hotels.<\/p>\n<p>In the other six of the nine Assembly districts that cover Orange County communities, only two candidates are running. That means in those six races, both the incumbent and the challenger will advance to the general election in the fall.<\/p>\n<p>But that primary election calmness is not the case in the 67th Assembly District\u00a0covering Buena Park, Cypress and Fullerton;\u00a0the 68th Assembly District\u00a0covering Orange and Santa Ana; and\u00a0the 72nd Assembly District\u00a0covering the coastline as well as Aliso Viejo, Laguna Woods and Lake Forest.<\/p>\n<p>In the 67th Assembly District, six candidates are vying to replace Assemblymember Sharon Quirk-Silva, D-Fullerton, who is prevented from running for reelection because of term limits. They are Democrats Ada Brice\u00f1o, Paul Gonzales, Mark Pulido and Ali Taj, along with Republicans Adrian Oscar Ayub and Paulo Morales.<\/p>\n<p>And in the 68th Assembly District, left open by Assemblymember Avelino Valencia, who is running for a state Senate spot, three Democrats are running \u2014 Jessie Lopez, David Penaloza and Shannon Wingfield \u2014 along with Republican Mayra Ruiz.<\/p>\n<p>And four candidates \u2014 Republicans Matthew Harper and Gracey Van Der Mark, along with Democrat Chris Kluwe and no party preference candidate Frank Wagoner \u2014 are vying for the 72nd Assembly District.<\/p>\n<p>This is also the first election post-redistricting, which changed the makeup of congressional districts across the state. Orange County now has eight congressional districts that cover its residents, up two from the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n<p>One contest in particular, the race for California\u2019s 40th Congressional District, has drawn national attention as redistricting pitted two Republican lawmakers, Reps. Ken Calvert and Young Kim, against each other in the same district. Independent candidate Nina Linh is also running in this district, as are several Democrats who represent varying wings of the party: Francis Xavier Hoffman, Claude Keissieh, Joe Kerr, Esther Kim-Varet and Lisa Ramirez.<\/p>\n<p>Another new district for many Orange County voters is California\u2019s 42nd Congressional District. Rep. Robert Garcia, a Democrat who represents Long Beach in a different district now, is running for this seat, as are Republicans Brian Burley, Long Pham and Noah Von Blom, as well as no party preference candidate Larisa Vermeulen. Redistricting drew Long Beach into the same area as Orange County\u2019s more conservative coastal communities, including Huntington Beach and part of Newport Beach.<\/p>\n<p>At the local level, three seats are on the ballot for the Orange County Board of Supervisors, which oversees a budget of nearly $11 billion and countywide departments, such as public health, social services, public works and more.<\/p>\n<p>The five-member governing body is guaranteed at least one new face, with four candidates vying for the open 4th District seat now that Doug Chaffee will be terming out at the end of the year.
