"The Oregon Elections Division is continuously updating its website, Oregonvotes.gov, with information and tools on:
How to register to vote and change your voter registration
How to submit your ballot in time to be counted and where you can do so
How you can track your ballot once it’s submitted to ensure it gets accepted
All the ways Oregon election officials keep your ballot safe and secure
Oregon’s election laws, rules, and regulations around petition initiatives, campaign finance, and more"
Oregon has used vote-by-mail for just over 20 years.
