A Few Things to Know Before Election Day
Wilsonville's Ballot Drop
As Election Day draws near, a reminder that the City of Wilsonville’s only ballot drop site is located at City Hall (29799 SW Town Center Loop E.)
The drive-thru ballot drop, accessible via Courtside Drive, is accessible to the public 24 hours a day from Oct. 14 (the day ballots are mailed) until 8 p.m. on Election Day.
Additional ballot drop boxes are located throughout Washington County (view list) and Clackamas County (view list). Ballots may also be dropped in the mail; the U.S. Postal Service recommends “that domestic, non-military voters mail their completed ballots before Election Day and at least one week prior to your state’s deadline.”
Voter Registration Deadline is Oct. 13
Oregon’s voter registration deadline is Oct. 13. To confirm that you are registered, update your registration, or check the status of your ballot, visit the State of Oregon’s MyVote website.
Not registered? New voters can register online with an Oregon driver’s license, permit or ID card number issued by the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division (DMV). If you do not have an Oregon driver’s license, permit or ID card, use the online voter registration to enter your information, which will display on a voter registration card (PDF document) that you will need to print, sign and deliver to your county elections office to complete your registration.
