Council Brief
Orange County — council roster & voting records

Orange County Board of Supervisors

Who sits on the Orange County board of supervisors, how long they've served, when each seat is next on the ballot — and how each member has actually voted, item by item, from the official record.

by-district · mayor: rotated-by-council · term limits: Two four-year terms per district seat (per board.oc.gov "About the Board": "Each district elects a Supervisor to a four-year term. Each Supervisor can serve two four-year terms."). This is a county Board of Supervisors, not a city council; there is no mayor. Whether a partial term won via special election counts toward the two-term limit is treated as NOT counting in practice for Foley (who won a 2021 special election and is running again in 2026, per LAist). · on the Nov 2026 ballot: Districts 2, 4, and 5 are on the November 3, 2026 general-election ballot (nonpartisan; a June 2, 2026 primary was held, with top candidates advancing to November if no one exceeded 50%). District 4 (Chaffee) is an open seat because the incumbent is termed out. Districts 1 and 3 are not up until 2028 (terms end January 2029).
