Dear Oregonians,

It’s not too late to register to vote in the big May Primary Election!

You have until 11:59 p.m. TONIGHT to register or make any changes to your registration.

Here in Oregon, we make it quick and convenient for eligible citizens. You can register online, and it takes less than five minutes, just visit OregonVotes.gov/register.

If you’ve moved recently or can’t remember the last time you checked your voter registration information, you’ll want to make sure everything is up to date to avoid delays in getting your ballot.

You can check or make a change to your registration on OregonVotes.gov/myvote.

There are some key candidate races and measures on this ballot, so you won’t want to miss out!

I do want to remind you that we have closed primary elections in Oregon. 

Major political parties nominate their party candidates during the Primary Election, and because we have closed primaries, only voters registered with a party can vote for that party’s candidates.

That means if you’re not registered as a Republican or Democrat, your ballot won’t list the candidate races for those parties.

If you’re not affiliated with any party, don’t worry: you’ll still get a ballot for the May primary, but it will only list nonpartisan races, like those for our state’s judges or state measures.

If you’d like to affiliate with a party, you can also make that change on OregonVotes.gov/myvote, just make sure you do it before 11:59 p.m. tonight to get the correct ballot!

Your vote is your voice, and registering to vote is the first step to making it heard. 

Sincerely,

Tobias Read
Oregon Secretary of State
