Orange county Supervisor of Elections Bill Cowles said the voting process should be far more efficient this year thanks to new technology that's being used in polling places this year. He also said that the local elections on Tuesday were a great place to test the equipment to work out any kinks that come up.
"We're warming up and getting ready, so we've got this election which is larger than our municipal election day back in March. We look forward to the presidential preference primary, which will get a little larger, then we'll get to the presidential primary a year from now, which will be the largest ever," he said.
As long as you're in line to vote by 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, you'll be able to cast your ballot.
