Get Vote Ready for the November 3, 2026 General Election

Voters are encouraged to include Track Your Ballot as part of their voting plan.

Oregon City, OR – Clerk Catherine McMullen is encouraging Clackamas County voters to sign up for Track Your Ballot in advance of the November 3, 2026 General Election, “Track Your Ballot allows my office to send email, text, or voice notifications to voters who sign up about the status of their ballot from mailed to received and accepted for counting. It will let you know when your general election ballot is on its way!”

Voters can use Track Your Ballot as they get ready to vote every election including the upcoming November 3, 2026 General Election. Receive an alert when your ballot is mailed to you. After you vote and return your ballot, be alerted when it has been received by the elections office, and again when it has been accepted for counting. 

If you forget to sign your ballot return envelope or your signature does not match the signature on your voter registration record, you will receive a notification through Track Your Ballot in addition to a mailed letter from Clackamas County Elections on how to take action and ensure your vote can be counted. Your vote remains anonymous and confidential. Track Your Ballot is a free service for voters provided by Clackamas County Elections.

More than 50,000 Clackamas County voters have signed up, but there is still plenty of time to use the service for this election.  Sign up online for Track Your Ballot at clackamas.us/elections/track-your-ballot.
