Register to Vote
| Are you ready to vote in May? Have you registered in Oregon yet? If you’re not sure whether you’re registered to vote, or just want to make sure your registration is still active, you can easily check your voter status at the Oregon Secretary of State’s My Vote* website. Click on the blue “Go to My Vote” button, you’ll be asked to prove you’re not a robot, then asked to enter your first name, last name, and date of birth. Click the “submit” button and you’ll be able to see your current voter status. Most people are automatically registered to vote when they apply for an Oregon driver’s license or other photo ID at the DMV. However, if you’re not registered, you can pick up Oregon State voter registration forms at the library. Look for the large red, white, and blue “VOTE” poster just past the front desk. The form will ask you for your basic contact information, then for your Oregon Driver’s License Number, or your Social Security Number, or, if you have neither, you’ll be asked to attach a copy of an acceptable alternate form of identification from the list on the form. Once you fill out the form, you simply have to mail it or deliver it to the County Clerk’s office in Newport. In Oregon, you can also register to vote online. Simply visit the Online Voter Registration Page on the Secretary of State’s website** and click on the blue “Register to Vote Now” button. You’ll be asked two qualifying yes/no questions (Are you a U.S. citizen? and Are you at least 16 years of age?), then taken to the registration page after you click the blue “continue” button. Simply fill out the requested information, submit, and you’re registered to vote! Voting is one of the most important activities you can take part in as a U.S. citizen. Make sure you’re registered, and if not, please register today! And then remember to VOTE! https://sos.oregon.gov/voting/Pages/myvote.aspx?lang=en https://sos.oregon.gov/voting/Pages/registration.aspx?lang=en |
