Orange County CA Actions This Week (Nov 2-Nov 9, 2026)

Dear Greater Orange County:

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3rd! Drop your vote-by-mail ballot at a ballot drop box before 8pm November 3rd, or vote in person at your polling place. If you still need to register to vote, poll workers will help you with same-day voter registration.

Know someone who still needs guidance on their ballot? Share this voter guide from the OC Indivisible Coalition: https://ocindivisible.org/endorsements/

Problems at the polls? Call the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline Election Protection at 866-OUR-VOTE to talk to a trained volunteer.

What's up this week (more details below in the schedule):

  • Tues 11/3: Join OC WFP, Chispa, and OC DSA in Santa Ana for an election night watch party. Also, note that weekly Tuesday rallies at the Circle in Orange will now run from 5pm-6:30pm.
  • Sun 11/8: The 50501oc and OC Indivisible Coalition Sunday Rally for Democracy is back in Irvine at Jamboree this week.
