Register to vote by October 13th.

If you are temporarily living elsewhere and need your ballot mailed to you instead of the address where you are registered to vote, you need to update your mailing address using the voter portal. Technically there’s no deadline for doing this, but the Secretary of State’s office recommends getting it done ‘as soon as possible’. If you’re worried the ballot might not be mailed to you in time, get in touch with your county election office to ask about your options.

Ballots must be postmarked or dropped off by 8pm on Election Day — if you’re mailing, we recommend doing that by October 27th. Ballots postmarked by Election Day will be counted if they’re received by 7 days after the election.

This is important: USPS recently changed its policies and won’t always postmark mail the same day it’s picked up from a mailbox — or even the day after. To guarantee a same-day postmark, you’ll need to go to a post office and ask for a manual postmark. All the more reason to mail things early!

Place your ballot in the security envelope provided.

Place that little bundle in the return envelope provided.

Sign the return envelope where indicated. If someone helped you mark your ballot, have them sign where indicated too.

No stamp needed — Oregon pays your postage!

Drop it in a dropbox near you before 8pm on Election Day.

Or put it in the mail by October 27th so it has time to get where it’s supposed to go.

Someone can return your ballot for you.
