ballot
By Mail (Absentee Voting)
Oregon has a vote-by-mail system. All registered voters receive a ballot by mail, 2 to 3 weeks before Election Day.
Completed ballots must be received by 7 PM on Election Day.

Students attending an out-of-state college or voters traveling during an election can still receive a ballot.
What to Expect
on Election Day
Oregon votes by mail (see above for details).
Voter ID Requirements
No photo ID requirements, as Oregon votes entirely by mail.
Language Access
Section 203 of the Voting Rights Act requires certain jurisdictions to provide in-language voting materials in areas with a significant number of limited English proficient voters.
Section 208
Section 208 of the Voting Rights Act states that, “Any voter who requires assistance to vote by reason of blindness, disability, or inability to read or write may be given assistance by a person of the voter’s choice, other than the voter’s employer or agent of the employer or office or agent of the voter’s union.”
It is your right to bring your own interpreter to the polls, if you so choose.
