SANTA ANA, Calif. — The Orange County Registrar of Voters is making sure it's easy for everyone to vote.

Staff opened pop-up mobile voting centers next to fire zones for voters who had to quickly evacuate due to the wildfires.

There were two of mobile pop-ups Saturday, one at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Santa Ana and the other at Great Park in Irvine. Both locations were open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m., and staff opened two more Sunday.

Randy Carsten was quick on his bike, but his patriotism was hard to miss. He rode into the pop-up on his bike Saturday wearing his red, white, and blue proudly to the polls.

He was planning to vote at another center but saw this mobile pop-up on his bike ride along Newport Boulevard.

“It was super easy," Carsten said. "Very clear to read, very concise, and just blacked the boxes with the pen.”

The process takes less than 10 minutes. Voters stop at step one to get their ballot, move to step two to vote, and then stop at step three to scan their ballot into the Orange County of Voters system.

Another Orange County voter, Celinda York, compared the process of voting today to years past.

“I was just incredulous at how much easier it was to follow the directions than it was 20 years ago," she said.

When the Blue Ridge and Silverado fires broke out last week, the Orange County Registrar of Voters quickly adapted by opening four additional pop-up mobile voting sites to support those impacted by evacuation orders.

The sites are one-stop shops where voters who live anywhere in Orange County can even register to vote if they haven’t already.

The Orange County Registrar of Voters, Neal Kelley, said it was important for them to make sure those affected by the fires would still have their voices heard.

“So we kind of positioned that — not knowing where the evacuation orders were gonna go, and then it worked out great because they were able to return to their homes," Kelley said. "But still, you know, it was kind of a disarray for them, so this gives them extra options right outside the zone."

Volunteers are busy comparing signatures and scanning votes at the Orange County Registrar of Voters headquarters, but it’s also serving as one of 170 voting centers around the county.

At this point, Kelley said they’re already seeing a 20 percent increase in voter turnout compared to the 2016 election. As of Saturday afternoon, 80,000 Orange County residents had voted in person and 820,000 by mail.

“I think it’s energy on both sides," he said. "It doesn’t really matter what side you’re on in terms of your political preference, but it’s just energy in general around the election."

Staff opened two mobile pop-ups Sunday at Influence Church in Anaheim and the Ladera Ranch Farmers Market. The locations were expected to remain open until 5 p.m. and 1 p.m. respectively.
