Today Is the Last Day for Early Voting in RSM

If your sample ballot is burning a hole in your pocket and you can't wait until Nov. 6 to vote with the rest of America in the general election, you're in luck.

The Registrar of Voters selected Rancho Santa Margarita as an Early Voting site, and the process—which began on Oct. 22—concludes Oct. 30.

Early Voting is an alternative to vote-by-mail or Election Day voting. Any registered voter in Orange County can vote in Rancho Santa Margarita during this time period. This unique voting opportunity is helpful for employees of local businesses, public responders, and the community at large that might face a conflict on Nov. 6.

Early Voting will be available at the Bell Tower Regional Community Center from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Contact Rancho Santa Margarita's city clerk, Molly McLaughlin, at 949-635-1806 for additional information or visit ocvote.com.
