Clackamas County Elections Opens Vote Center Inside the Happy Valley Library for November 4, 2025 Special Election

Happy Valley Vote Center Open Monday, Oct. 20 through Election Day, Nov. 4

Happy Valley, OR – Clackamas County Elections will open the pop-up vote center inside the Happy Valley Library starting Monday, Oct. 20 for voters needing assistance for the November 4, 2025 Special Election. The Happy Valley Vote Center provides a closer choice for voters in Happy Valley, Sandy, Damascus and other north-east communities. Voters can choose the location, Clackamas County Elections Office in Oregon City or the Happy Valley Vote Center, that works best for them.

Each voter service location is staffed by sworn election officials. At the vote center 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.

“Clackamas County Elections increases access to voting services with the Happy Valley Vote Center,” Clerk Catherine McMullen shared, “making it possible for every eligible voter to be able to vote hassle-free.”

Hours for both locations:

Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 1, 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.

Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 7 a.m. – 8 p.m.

This is not a county-wide election. Where you live determines what is on your ballot.  If you are a registered voter in the cities of Gladstone, Happy Valley, or Portland; the Sandy Fire District; or the Lake Oswego, Oregon Trail or West Linn – Wilsonville school districts you should expect to receive a ballot. 

Ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, either mailed with a valid postmark or by delivery to an official ballot drop site. Voter service locations in Oregon City and Happy Valley will be open on Election Day, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. for assistance.
