Please remember to register to vote or update your voter registration if you have moved or changed political parties so you’re ready to fill out and return your ballot when it arrives in the mail.
To register to vote in Oregon, you must be a U.S. citizen, an Oregon resident, and at least 17 years old. The deadline to register to vote in the upcoming May 15 election is April 24.
Registered voters receive a ballot in the mail about two weeks before an election.
There are three ways to register to vote in Oregon:
1. Have your Oregon driver’s license or state ID card handy and register online
2. Pick up a voter registration form at the post office or library (or download online) and return it in the mail
3. Go to the county elections office to fill out a form
If you have moved, changed your name or mailing address, or want to change political parties, you can update your voter registration through the same methods.
