Here’s how to check your registration or register to vote in Oregon.
When is the deadline to register to vote in Oregon’s May primary election?
The deadline to register to vote is April 28.
Ballots will begin being mailed out the next day, April 29, and must be returned or postmarked by May 19, Election Day.
How to register to vote in Oregon
Potential voters can register online at the Oregon Secretary of State’s MyVote website.
A person must be an Oregon resident, U.S. citizen and 16 years old or older to register. Ballots will not be sent to until a registrant is 18 years old.
An Oregon driver’s license, permit or ID number, or the last four digits of the person’s social security number, are needed to register online.
Without one of those, a person can register online, but will have to print out a provided voter registration card and mail or hand deliver it to their local county elections office.
Where are the Marion, Polk county elections offices?
The Marion County Elections office is located in Salem’s Courthouse Square at 555 Court St NE, Suite 2130.
The office is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Polk County Clerk’s Office is on the second floor of the Polk County Courthouse at 850 Main St. in Dallas.
The office is open from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
How do I know if I’m a registered Oregon voter?
Potential voters can check if they are registered to vote online by providing their first and last name and date of birth.
Registered voters can cancel their registration by contacting their local county elections office.
How do I return my ballot?
Ballots can be returned by mail or at drop box sites.
Marion County and Polk County both provide lists of drop box locations.
Ballots must be dropped off by 8 p.m. on Election Day.
The Secretary of State’s Office recommends people who want to mail their ballots do so before May 12.
Afterwards, voters should use a drop box or go into the post office and ask for a postmark on their ballot.
Oregon counts ballots received up to seven days after Election Day, as long as they were postmarked on or before Election Day.

Entering the 2026 college football season, the Oregon Ducks are looking to not only win their first national championship in program history but also their second Big Ten title in the last three seasons.
When the Ducks joined the Big Ten in 2024, they kicked off their inaugural season in the conference in style, finishing the regular season undefeated at 13-0. This regular season was concluded with a thrilling 45-37 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten championship game.

The Ohio State Buckeyes, however, got revenge for their loss to the Ducks at Autzen Stadium earlier in the regular season, beating Oregon 41-21 in the CFP Quarterfinal at the Rose Bowl. Entering the 2026 season, here’s a look at the Ducks’ chances of winning the Big Ten for the second time.
Oregon Ducks Big Ten Title Odds: Who’s The Biggest Threat?
According to the latest betting odds by FanDuel Sportsbook, the Ducks have +270 odds to win the Big Ten championship this season. The one team ahead of them is the Ohio State Buckeyes at +190, who, believe it or not, are in search of their first Big Ten title since 2020. The Buckeyes were upset by the Indiana Hoosiers 13-10 in the Big Ten championship last season.
Among the top teams in the Big Ten next season, Ohio State poses the biggest threat to the Ducks’ chances of not only winning a conference title but also the national championship. The Buckeyes and Ducks will face off in what could be the game of the year in Columbus on Nov. 7.
As exciting as this matchup will be for college football fans, it likely won’t be the only one between the Buckeyes and Ducks. Regardless of which team wins the Nov. 7 showdown in Columbus, the Buckeyes and Ducks could match up again in the Big Ten title game and in the CFP.
Other Teams That Pose a Threat to Oregon
While the Buckeyes are the main threat to the Ducks’ Big Ten title aspirations, other teams will be worth watching. One of those teams is the defending national champions, the Indiana Hoosiers.
Despite the key losses this offseason, which include Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Fernando Mendoza, coach Curt Cignetti’s Hoosiers restocked talent with the addition of TCU Horned Frogs transfer quarterback Josh Hoover and Michigan State Spartans wide receiver Nick Marsh.
The only two losses that the Ducks suffered last season came against the Hoosiers. If the two face off in the Big Ten championship, Indiana looks to continue its dominance over the Ducks. The Hoosiers and Ducks don’t play each other during the regular season.
The USC Trojans, whom the Ducks will face at the Los Angeles Coliseum on Sept. 26, also look to knock off Oregon in what should be one of the top games of the first month of the college football season. Oregon coach Dan Lanning is undefeated 2-0 against USC’s Lincoln Riley and looks to extend the Ducks’ winning streak against the Trojans to five games.
