Life of a Ballot - SATURDAY OCT 10

Posted on Oct 7 2026 - 8:44am

LIFE OF A BALLOT 

Scouts and parents are invited to this behind-the-scenes tour of the OC Registrar of Voters' ballot processing operation for the 2026 General Election

The Orange County Registrar of Voters is the government agency that conducts all public elections in Orange County. Their staff will guide the troop through "The Life of a Ballot" program, which follows real election ballots from the point they are cast through verification and preparation for counting on election night. The troop will get a full tour of their facility and an opportunity to view democracy up close as staff process Vote-By-Mail ballots for the 2026 election.

Come prepared with questions about the electoral process, or simply show up to learn more about how this important part of our democracy functions.

Dress Code: Class A, including Troop 235 hat.

NOTE: This is a strictly non-partisan event that focuses on HOW elections operate and not WHO is running. Please refrain from overtly political discussions or activities during the tour.

PLEASE RSVP FOR THE EVENT ON THE TROOP CALENDAR
