Voting in Oregon

Search for your polling location or ballot drop sites.

All voters are eligible to vote absentee/by mail in Oregon; no excuse is needed. All registered voters in Oregon should automatically receive absentee/vote-by-mail ballots at the address where they are registered.

Oregon does not offer in-person early voting. Vote-by-mail ballots are automatically sent to all registered voters and can be mailed or dropped off at any official ballot drop box location across the state before 8 p.m. on election day.

Oregon has closed primaries. Voters registered with a particular party may only vote in that party's primary. At the primary election, voters who are not registered in one of the major political parties would receive a ballot containing nonpartisan contests, such as judicial elections, which all registered voters may vote on. 17-year-olds cannot vote in the primary election even if they will be 18 by the corresponding general election.

ID is not required to vote in Oregon, with the exception of federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) requirements for first-time voters.
