 Happy Election Day!
Casting your vote is one of the most powerful ways you can show up for your community, for Oregon, and for our country. I hope you go out and make your voice heard today.
If you haven't voted yet, I highly recommend you return your ballot at an official drop box.
If you can't return your ballot to an official drop box and absolutely need to return it by mail, make sure you visit your nearest post office location, go up to the counter, and ask for a manual postmark.
All ballots must be in an official drop box, postmarked, or returned to a county elections office by 8:00 p.m. TONIGHT.
If you run in to any issues or have any questions regarding your ballot, please, give your county elections office a call.
Our democracy is stronger when we all participate, so thank you to all who have voted, and thank you for encouraging your friends, family members, and neighbors do the same.
Sincerely,
 Tobias Read
Oregon Secretary of State
 
Make sure your vote gets counted.
Return your ballot to an official ballot drop box near you by 8:00 p.m. TONIGHT!

Deschutes County
"I Voted" Sticker Contest
Last year, I visited all 36 county clerks across Oregon. While meeting with Deschutes County Clerk Steve Dennison, I learned about their yearly "I Voted," sticker contest, and took home some of last year's winning designs back with me to Salem.
This year, Bodi (left) and Rowan's (right) awesome sticker designs were chosen for this year's Primary and General Elections. If you live in Deschutes County, make sure stop the elections office to get yours!
