Hats in the Ring: A County Full of Candidates

Hundreds of political hopefuls across the county have met the final extended filing deadline for the November election. Last Friday’s deadline was extended to Wednesday in races where incumbents did not file for reelection, thus giving nonincumbents a grace period for completing the necessary paperwork. Some of the late filings were delayed again by computer problems at the registrar of voters office.

Updated information on the races may be obtained from the Orange County registrar’s Web site, https://www.oc.ca.gov/election. Click on “candidates/measures.”

* Designates incumbents

In elections divided into regions, there is one seat per region unless otherwise noted. Number of seats to be filled in some races was not available.
