  • Do I have to be registered as a Democrat or Republican to vote in my primary?

    Yes. Only registered members of a political party have the right to vote in that party's primary, and voters must be formally registered with that party prior to Election Day.

  • Can I vote by mail?

    Yes! Actually in Oregon, as long as you're registered by April 26th, the state will send you a ballot automatically. All you have to do is mail it back by May 17th.

  • Can I vote early? (primary)

    You can vote early by mail.

  • Do I need an ID?

    Ok, so if you completed your registration in the past and have voted before, you're all set. If you're a first-time voter or want to finish your registration on Election Day, you will need to bring a photo ID or a copy of a utility bill, bank statement, or paycheck.
