The remaining locations — 146 more of them — are scheduled to open for in-person voting on March 2. They will operate from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The vote centers will remain open daily until the end of election day, March 5. On election day, the polls will open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m.

There are also 25 voting centers that will have a drive-thru option for voters to cast their completed ballot from their car. Voters must complete their vote-by-mail ballot before dropping it off at a drive-thru location.
Voters are considering a host of congressional races, two OC supervisor races, three county board of education races, a school board recall, a state proposition and a series of local measures.
Voters will also be able to decide on their party’s presidential nominee.
