The Orange County Board of Elections has a new tool to help map residents’ paths to polls on Tuesday.
This election cycle, the board debuted the Map Your Trip web tool on the Orange County website. The tool lists all the voting precincts and helps voters determine the best route to their polling location. The map also allows residents to search various public transit options to arrive at their destination.
“We want to make voting as accessible as possible,” said Director of the Orange County Board of Elections Rachel Raper. “Map Your Trip allows voters to choose their preferred mode of transportation, including public transit, while participating in the electoral process.”
The Map Your Trip tool may be helpful to some Orange County residents who may have experienced changes to their precinct and will be using a new or updated polling location this year. Changes were made at the beginning of 2020 to consolidate some precincts, shrinking the county’s total from 44 to 41 while re-aligning many. The tool is also helpful because now early voting is over, the early voting locations are now largely closed.
The Map Your Trip tool also has a link to the search tool for voters to look up which precinct they vote in.
