In one capacity or another, Oregon has been voting by mail since 1981, and while this is a convenient option for many Portlanders, not everyone has access to the postal service. So, with the Tues., May 17 Primary Election approaching, we’ve put together a list of places where you can deliver your ballot in person.
Pro tip: Ballots must be dropped off at an official ballot drop site by 8 p.m. on Election Day, but, if you are in line, you’ll still be able to cast your vote after that time.
