​​Oregon has the most convenient voting system in the country. Since adopting vote-by-mail, Oregon consistently ranks as a national leader in voter turnout.



Registered voters receive a ballot two to three weeks before an election, giving time to research issues or candidates.



Voters also receive an official ballot to complete and insert into the security envelope which is placed in the ballot return envelope and signed by the voter. The ballot return envelope can be stamped and mailed or dropped off at any official drop box​ ​across the state.



Ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day.​​​​​​​​
