She said the Elections office keeps information 21 <br />updated regularly, and sample ballots are now available. She said in Orange County there is no 22 <br />Republican ballot for the primary, and links to a lot of information are available on the website. 23 <br />She said the voter registration deadline is April 13, and same day registration is available, but 24 <br />requires proof of residency, such as a formal government document with name and address. 25 <br />She said one stop voting starts April 10. She said there were some recent House district 26 <br />changes that have affected some residents, and the office has some voter education outreach 27 <br />coming up to inform those affected. She said packets are also being prepared for the affected 28 <br />areas. 29 <br />Rachel Raper said concerns have been brought forth about the voting machines that 30 <br />Orange County uses, but the County’s machines are very safe. She said the machines are 31 <br />never connected to the Internet, which is where most of the problems occur across the country. 32 <br />She said modems are no longer used in reporting the results, and the machines have not been 33 <br />equipped with modems since 2015. She said the County also does not use the touch screens, 34 <br />which are crux of many of the problems. She said every vote is recounted by hand, by a 35 <br />bipartisan team, to make certain they are the same as the machine count, regardless of the size 36 <br />of the election. She said chain of custody forms are required for all materials, and all equipment 37 <br />is kept behind lock and key with limited access by staff. She said her staff is very thorough and 38 <br />dedicated in what they do. 39 <br />Chair Dorosin asked if the voters who live in the affected precincts have gotten any 40 <br />written notice from the state or the Elections office. 41 <br />Rachel Raper said her office does not send out these types of notices unless there is a 42 <br />call to action, such as an address change, because voters typically ignore additional mailings 43 <br />around election time. She said the office notifies residents when something needs to be done, 44 <br />which is why there will be outreach meetings in these various areas. 45 <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if information is available about the district changes, and 46 <br />about the status of the State Board of Elections. 47 <br />Rachel Raper said the State Board of Elections is being dissolved. 48 <br />Commissioner Dorosin asked if this affects the status of the Orange County Board of 49 <br />Elections. 50
