Return Your Ballot
Planning to mail your ballot? Do it by Oct 27 if you can.
After Oct 27: use a drop box, or have it hand-postmarked at a post office to make sure the recent changes to USPS don’t keep your vote from being counted.
Drop boxes are open 24/7, closing at 8pm on Tuesday, November 3.
Find a Drop Box
Check the status of your ballot online with the Oregon Secretary of State.
Some counties also offer text, phone, and email updates.
Make sure your ballot has been accepted!
