You can register online with the State of Oregon! You can also mail in a voter registration form or register in person at your local county elections office and learn more about registering to vote in Oregon at the Oregon's Online Voter Registration website.

Oregon residents who are U.S. citizens can register to vote at 16 years old and begin voting at 18 years old.

If you have a residential address in Oregon, you are considered a resident. Residential addresses can be your house, apartment, or dorm. It can be your OSU address or your home address, depending where you want to vote. Some of these forms of IDs must be used to register in person rather than by mail or online.

You can use your home or college address to vote. If you use your home address, you can request your ballot be mailed to your college address online. This is considered your mailing address, not your residential address.

In Oregon under the Oregon Motor Voter Act, when you fill out a driver's license application or vehicle registration, you're automatically registered to vote unless you opt out.

You must register to vote or change your address 21 days prior to an election.

This includes requesting absentee ballots if you're studying abroad or if you'd like your ballot mailed to a different address than where you're registered. Learn more about voting in Oregon including absentee voting on the Voting in Oregon page. 

You can mail in your completed ballot or drop it off at an official ballot dropbox. You should mail ballots a week before the election day and use a stamp. Ballots received via mail after election day will not be counted. If you use a dropbox, you must submit by 8pm on election day and do not need a stamp. Be sure you sign the back of your ballot envelope either way! There is an official dropbox on campus at the corner of Ralph Miller Lane and 26th St., next to Gill Coliseum. There is 24-hour drive up access at at this dropbox.

If you lose your ballot, contact your county elections office to request a replacement.

You will receive a voter information packet in the mail in advance of election day that outlines all your ballot options. The State of Oregon has voter pamphlets available online.

Additionally, Campus Vote Project creates State Student Guides.
