| Register to Vote in Oregon
General Information
You may register to vote in Oregon if:
- You are a resident of Oregon.
- You are a United States citizen.
- You will be 18 years old by Election Day.
To register to vote or update your current registration:
- Complete the Voter Registration Form. The form is in a fillable .pdf format. Open the form using the free Adobe Acrobat© Reader and complete it online by tabbing through the fields and typing in the requested information.
- Print the completed form and sign it.
- Mail the form to your county elections office or drop it off in person.
If you do not wish to complete the voter registration form online, you may print the form and complete it using black ink.
Your county elections office will mail you a card to let you know that your registration was received. If you are registering in Oregon for the first time, your completed voter registration form must be postmarked by the 21st day before an election in order to vote in that election.
A voter who is unable, because of the disability, to sign their name should also complete the Signature Stamp Attestation form.

a current, valid Oregon DMV Driver's License/ID, you must provide that number. If you do not have a current, valid Oregon DMV Driver's License/ID, you must provide the last four digits of your Social Security number.
If you do not have a current, valid Oregon DMV Driver's License/ID or a Social Security number, you must affirm this on the voter registration card, and if you are registering by mail, you must provide a copy of one of the following:
