Let’s Make a Plan to VOTE!
U.S. Postal
Service Begins
Delivering Ballots
The United States Postal Service has
begun delivering ballots for the upcoming
election. Those ballots will go to a record
number of registered voters in Multnomah
County: 575,381 people, as of 5:45 p.m.
Tuesday, Oct. 15. That's a little more than
3,000 people over the previous record set
in October 2020.
Voters in Multnomah County can sign
up for Track Your Ballot service at mult-
nomah.ballottrax.net to know when your
ballot is on its way to you. If you do not
receive your ballot by Thursday, Oct. 24,
take action and contact the county elec-
tions office at (503) 988-VOTE (8683).
The popular Track Your Ballot service
is available in multiple languages! You can
choose to receive ballot alerts and updates
in English, Spanish, Russian, Somali, Viet-
namese, Chinese or Ukrainian.
Sign up today for Track Your Bal-
lot and get a virtual “I Voted” sticker.
Text, email or voice alerts will tell you
when Multnomah County Elections has
mailed your ballot and when your ballot
has been received. Alerts also indicate
whether the ballot has been accepted for
counting or whether it requires further
action by the voter.

Inside the “Accepted Ballot” message,
voters will get access to a special Oregon “I
Voted” sticker ready to share on social media.

information about the candidates and mea-
sures that will be on your ballot in both the
Oregon State Online Voters’ Guide and the
Multnomah County Voters’ Pamphlet.
State and County voters’ pamphlets
were mailed to every household in Mult-
nomah County on Oct. 9-11. Due to the
large size of both the State and County vot-
ers’ pamphlets, they were delivered sepa-
rately instead of together. In past elections,
the County’s voters’ pamphlet was includ-
ed as part of the State voters’ pamphlet.
Multnomah County Elections has
opened its second service location, the
Voting Center Express in Gresham, start-
ing Thursday, Oct. 10, through Election
Day, Nov. 5.
The Voting Center Express is inside the
Multnomah County East Building at 600
N.E. 8th St. in downtown Gresham. Vot-
ers can get assistance registering to vote or
replacing a lost ballot, get help voting, ask
questions, or vote in-person. Staff at that
location also speak multiple languages.
The Oregon Voter Registration Dead-
line for new voters has passed. For all oth-
er voters, if you have not already done so,
please check that your voter registration
information is accurate and up-to-date. If
you have moved, update your mailing ad-
dress NOW to ensure you receive a ballot.
Ballots are not forwardable mail. You can
update your voter registration information
at www.oregonvotes.gov/myvote.
