Registrar of Voters Speaks to Chamber Government Affairs Committee |
|
|
|
With the upcoming election on Tuesday, November 8, Orange County Registrar of Voters Bob Page came to speak to the Anaheim Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee on Friday, October 21. Page, who grew up in OC, became OC Registrar of Voters in March, taking over from 17-year OC Registrar Neal Kelley. Page worked for the County of San Bernardino for 21 years, including serving as their Registrar of Voters and as Chief of Staff to two County Supervisors: one Republican and one Democrat. He was also a reporter with the Inland Valley Daily Bulletin before joining the County.
Page discussed OC voter registration data, including age, party, and language. He told the committee about OC and Anaheim voter turnout trends, voter turnout over multiple elections, voter turnout in different areas, and voter turnout by party. He shared information on vote centers, drop-off locations, drop boxes, and pop-up voting events. Page described community outreach efforts, including 75 events in the primary, postcards to voters, the County Voter Information Guide, and toolkits in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, and Chinese. He spoke of voter preferences in voting methods, with vote-by-mail, ballot drop boxes, and vote centers, as well as when vote-by-mail ballots are returned.
Page also discussed the massive number of items on the ballot, necessitating 543 unique ballots in Orange County due to 186 candidate contests and 20 local ballot measures. There are 3 county supervisors’ seats, 73 city offices, and 63 school and special district offices. On all OC voters’ ballots are the top two runoff elections for federal and state offices and one Superior Court Judge race, as well as State Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, and 7 statewide ballot measures. In Anaheim, all voters will vote on Mayor and Measure J (Transient Occupancy Tax update). Depending on where in Anaheim voters live, there are three City Council districts (2, 3, and 6), two County Board of Supervisor districts (2 and 4), 10 school district offices, and 1 special district office.
Discussing voting options, Page noted OC would have 181 vote centers, including 17 in Anaheim, 2 of which will be open for 11 days. OC has 121 ballot drop boxes, including 12 in Anaheim. There will also be 5 pop-up voting events. He also shared extensive information on his office’s work on ballot security and discussed how he had referred suspicious cases to the District Attorney during the Primary Election.
