All elections in Oregon are Vote by Mail. This means that registered voters receive their ballots in the mail and can vote in the comfort of their home.

Voters' Pamphlets

A state Voters' Pamphlet is mailed to every household in Oregon about 3 weeks before each statewide election. It includes information about each measure and candidate in the upcoming election. If you do not receive a Voters' Pamphlet, you can order or pick one up from:

Some counties may print a voters' pamphlet with local measures and candidates. These may be included with the state pamphlet or mailed separately.

For each statewide election, the Voters' Pamphlet is also available in an accessible online format at www.sos.state.or.us/elections.
  

VP State

  
An audio Voters' Guide is also available for each statewide election. Call 1 866 ORE VOTES for more information.
 

Ballots

Ballots are mailed to every registered voter 14 to 18 days before the election.
 
The post office will not forward your ballot! If you move or change your mailing address you need to update your voter registration information to get a ballot.
 
You have until 8pm on the day of the election to make any updates. If you do not receive your ballot at least 2 weeks before the election, call the Elections Office for help.
 

When your ballot package comes in the mail, it will include:

 
 Ballot Sample SM
An official ballot
 
 Sec Env SM
A secrecy envelope
 
Sign env SM
A ballot return envelope
 
 
Your ballot return envelope has an area for you to sign. You must sign it in order for your ballot to be counted.
 

An Elections Official will compare the signature on your ballot return envelope to the signature on your voter registration card to verify your identity.

Signing another person's name is illegal. You must sign your own ballot return envelope.

For more information on the ballot see:

If you have a disability and cannot physically sign your name on the ballot return envelope, you may submit a signature stamp attestation to the County Elections Official.

Other Inserts

You may also receive voting instructions, locations of ballot dropsites, or other useful information from the Elections Office.

Call 1 866 ORE VOTES or the County Elections Office for more information.
