Lane County Elections reminds voters to check both sides of ballots
Ballots are arriving in
the mail of registered Lane
County voters. Before turn-
ing in a ballot, voters should
remember to review both
sides of the ballot.
“Lane County Elections
wants to remind registered
voters to review both sides
of their official ballot. All
ballots have additional vot-
ing opportunities on the
back of their ballot,” said
Lane County Clerk Cheryl
Betschart. “Once a ballot
has been returned it cannot
be amended or recast.”
Registered voters any-
where in Oregon who have
changed their address still
have time to update their
registration and qualify for
a full ballot.
Those with election-re-
lated questions should con-
tact Lane County Elections
at 541-682-4234.
Voters may drop off their
ballots at one of many of-
ficial drop box locations
listed in the insert included
with their ballot.
Drop boxes are now open
and will remain open until 8
p.m. on Election Day (Nov.
3).

fice will be open to the pub-
lic only on Friday, Oct. 30;

tions.

Temporary housing assistance granted for wildfire survivors
Oregon took a significant
step forward in wildfire re-
covery efforts last week.
A state-requested direct
housing mission to help
provide temporary housing
for hundreds of Oregonians
displaced by wildfire was
granted from FEMA on
Oct. 7.
The state and FEMA are
finalizing the implementa-
tion plan for this mission,
under which residents in
Jackson, Linn and Mari-
on Counties who lost their
homes in September wild-
fires may be eligible.
Considerations for pri-
oritization of these three
counties included factors
such as immediate need
and lack of available rental
resources. Jackson Coun-
ty alone accounts for more
than half of the homes lost
in Oregon.
Housing solutions in this
mission are tailored to the
individual needs and situa-
tions of survivors based on
how quickly their homes
can be repaired to a safe,
sanitary and secure con-
dition, and the availability
of housing options in their
communities.
“The approval of this
housing mission is an im-
portant milestone in the
recovery process and pro-
vides some temporary sta-
bility to those who have
undergone such disrup-
tion,” said Oregon Office
of Emergency Management
Director Andrew Phelps.
“We’re grateful to FEMA
for their support and con-
tinue to work directly with
our state and local partners
to put our plans in action.”
Direct housing assistance
was requested for Doug-
las, Jackson, Lane, Lincoln,
Linn and Marion Counties.
FEMA continues to eval-
uate the need for tempo-
rary housing assistance in
additional affected coun-
ties. The state continues to
work directly with the Red
Cross and other public and
private partners to ensure
every impacted Oregonian
has a safe place to stay.

to individual households
who are potentially eligible
for direct temporary hous-
ing based on the results of
their FEMA inspection.
