Oregon City, OR – Citizens in Clackamas County have options when it comes to casting and returning their ballots for the May 20, 2025 Special District Election. Citizens can vote from anywhere and then return their ballot to an official ballot drop site or by mail, postmarked on or before 8 p.m. Election Day, May 20. Voter participation is at 8.12% as of end of day, Monday, May 12.
“It is easy to vote in Oregon! When you vote and return your ballot before Election Day, you ensure that that you have a say in every election, including our important local elections.” Clerk Catherine McMullen said.
Clerk McMullen shares tips and important information for voters as election day draws near:
You should have your ballot. Contact Clackamas County Elections if you don’t. Clackamas County Elections mailed ballots to all eligible voters starting April 30. Any voter who has not yet received their ballot should contact the elections office to check on the status of their ballot, make any needed voter registration updates, or request that a replacement ballot be issued.
Voters can email elections@clackamas.us, call 503-655-8510, or visit a voter service location in Oregon City or Happy Valley for assistance. Voters can also request a replacement ballot using the online Replacement Ballot Request form at www.clackamas.us/elections/ballot-request. Replacement ballots can be mailed until May 15 or picked up at a voter service location.
Sign up for Track Your Ballot! Voters can sign up for Track Your Ballot to know when their ballot is received by Clackamas County Elections and accepted for counting. Voters can sign up at clackamas.us/elections/track-your-ballot.
Citizens can visit a voter service location for assistance or a replacement ballot. The Happy Valley Vote Center inside the Happy Valley Library and the Oregon City elections office offer voter assistance and replacement ballots for voters in Clackamas County.
Each voter service location is staffed by sworn election officials. Citizens can replace a lost or damaged ballot, update voter registration information, get voting assistance if they have a disability, get voting assistance in a preferred language, return their voted ballot, or vote in person. Voters can choose the location that works best for them.
