Tip

Oregon election officials are encouraging voters to choose the drop box over the mailbox this election season.  There are concerns USPS is not processing ballots as rapidly as it once did.  Over 7,300 ballots, about 13% of mailed ballots, were rejected in the May 2026 primary for having late postmarks.  The rejection rate was lower in 2024 at 9.6% and in 2022 at 8.2%.  The Union County Clerk posts the list of Union County Official Drop Sites on their website.  Ballots must be received or mailed with a valid post mark by 8 p.m. Election Day which is Tuesday November 3rd.  On VOTE411, the Drop Box Locator will be updated 20 days before the election, which is when the state releases its list.  Oregon lawmakers approved funding to include about 20 additional drop boxes across the state with a focus on areas with limited access, but final locations will not be announced until site preparation and county agreements are completed.
