The May Election is just around the corner and do you know what feels good? Getting the ballot you’re expecting. Check your registration at Oregonvotes.gov/myvote.
We often hear from voters who are confused about Oregon’s closed primaries. So we made a quick video to help explain things.
 Watch and share the video.
It feels amazing when you see how easy it is to check your voter registration. It literally takes 1 minute.
So what’s a closed primary?
Both major parties — Republicans and Democrats — are holding closed primaries, which means only people registered as a member of the party can vote for their candidates. The winners go on to face each other in the General Election in November. You can change your party affiliation online if you’d like to vote in either party’s primary. The deadline to change your party affiliation before the May Election is April 26.
You can also be a member of a minor party or not affiliated with any party at all. You’d still get to vote on the many important nonpartisan contests in the May Election.
So don’t get caught off guard. Check your registration status and make sure you’ve got everything set up the way you want it.
