Orange County Board of Supervisors, District 5

Description

The Board of Supervisors oversees the management of County government and many special districts. The Board's legislative and executive activities are conducted at public meetings with certain personnel and legal matters discussed in closed sessions. Board meetings are held at the Hall of Administration in Santa Ana. The five Supervisors are elected by the voters of their district to four-year terms. Each district varies in geographical size, however, the populations are equal at approximately 600,000 residents. Community members may contact their Supervisor via phone, in writing or during public comments at a Board meeting.

Application Guidelines

To file for this position follow these three simple steps: 1) Contact the Orange County Registrar of Voters to verify that your address qualifies for the position. 2) Obtain the correct filing papers from the county elections office. Elections administrators understand that first time candidates may have additional questions, so we suggest asking any additional questions regarding filing for office (like the amount of petition signatures, filing fees, or to double check filing windows/dates). 3) Submit the filing papers within 113-88 days prior to the election, but make sure that these dates are verified with the county elections department. Election deadlines are unforgiving and misunderstanding them will prevent you from appearing on the ballot. If you have any questions, contact Orange County Registrar of Voters-Elections Department, which can be reached by phone at (714) 567-7600 or email at [email protected]
