Republican Candidate for Oregon's 2nd Congressional District
GET OUT THE VOTE
DID YOU KNOW...
Oregon has automatic voter registration via the DMV. When you get or renew a driver' license, or ID, you can be registered to vote without having to fill out a separate form.
As of the November 2024 general election, 94% of eligible Oregonians were registered to vote.
When you register, you can choose a party or remain non-affiliated.
Oregon law requires that to vote in a major party's primary (like Republicans or Democrats), you must be registered with that particular party. In other words, if there were two Republicans and you want to vote for either of them in the primary, you must be registered as a Republican.
DID YOU KNOW...
Oregon became a pioneer in vote-by-mail: All registered voters get ballots mailed to them, and most counties now support ballot-tracking.
Thanks to the "postmark rule," we can mail our ballot on Election Day, as long as it's postmarked that day, ballots postmarked on or before Election Day are still accepted up to 7 days after the election.
Tracking gives real peace of mind: When we go to OregonVotes.gov → My Vote, Secretary of State gives you at least these key pieces of information about your ballot:
Whether a ballot was sent to you and roughly when.
Whether your returned ballot was received by your county elections office.
The date your ballot was received, if it shows up in their system.
If your ballot isn't "accepted" because of a signature mismatch or other issue, some counties send alerts to let you know plus instructions on how to fix it.

Who Qualifies:
U.S. citizens in the Uniformed Services and their family members.
U.S. citizens living outside the U.S.
Ballot Mailing:
Oregon sends ballots to voters in the military and those living outside the U.S. at least 45 days before Election Day. This meets the requirements under the federal MOVE Act.
How to Register / Request a Ballot:
Voters can use the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to both register (if not already) and request a ballot.
Applications can be submitted by mail, email, or fax.
Once you apply, that application remains valid for future elections, unless you change your registration.
Deadlines & Postmarks:
Ballots must be received (or mailed with a valid postmark) by 8PM on Election Day to count.
If you're mailing your ballot from outside the U.S., you must use a U.S. Postal Service Branch or military postal system, because foreign postmarks don't count.
