Got the wrong ballot? Don't Panic!

Voters who changed their political party near the registration deadline may receive two ballots.

Ballots are prepared for mailing two weeks prior to the registration deadline, so voters who changed their party affiliation close to the registration deadline may receive two ballots. Those voters should wait for the second ballot and make sure to vote the ballot for the party they recently registered with.

Voters who have returned the first ballot should vote the second ballot, with their new party affiliation. The first ballot won’t be counted unless the second ballot is not voted.

Voters that made changes close to the registration deadline will be mailed their ballot early next week.

Multnomah County voters who do not receive the ballot by Thursday, May 5 can call the county elections office at 503-988-3720. Voters can check the status of their registration by visiting My Vote.
