Voter Resources

Register to Vote or Update Your Registration

There are multiple ways to register to vote in Oregon. You can also change or update your registration in the same way.

• Submit online using MyVote.
• Mail or submit in-person a Voter Registration Card to your county election's office.

To vote in the upcoming November 2026 election, your registration must be submitted online by Tuesday, October 13, 2026, at 11:59pm. Paper registration must be postmarked or submitted in-person to your county clerk by end of day Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

Did you know? Many Oregonians are automatically registered to vote when they apply for or renew their Driver's License or State ID Card. Visit MyVote to check if you are already registered. Click here to learn more about Oregon's Motor Voter Act.

Need Help? Call 311 or contact your county's election office.

Overseas, Military, and Absentee Voting

If you will be away from home but are still registered to vote in Oregon, there are ways to still get a ballot.

Voters that live overseas, members of the military, and their family members stationed away from home should visit the Federal Voter Assistance Program.

Those in the United States but away from Oregon temporarily (e.g. for work, college, due to a natural disaster, vacation) can request an absentee ballot by submitting the Oregon Absentee Ballot Request Form. 

Voters With Disabilities

Resources are available at no cost for voters with disabilities. For example, audio ballots, large-print options, and private ballot marking devices are available on request. Your county's election office can provide more information on how to access the resources they provide for voters with disabilities. You can also call 311 for help.

Below are some resources from local organizations that also discuss Ranked Choice Voting. Please note: Resources not published by the City of Portland are provided solely for educational purposes. This does not mean these organizations are endorsed by the City of Portland Elections Division. Links may change without notice.

Find Your City Council District

After the City Charter change in 2022, Portland transitioned to a 12-member City Council. Every Portland resident now resides in one of four council districts, with three elected councilors representing each district. Find which council district you live in by clicking here.

Both Multnomah County and Washington County uses districts for county representation, similar to Portland City Council. These are different positions that are separately elected. Clackamas County uses a commission-based system and therefore elects all representatives at-large (county-wide).
