The Oregon Primary Election is here! If you haven’t mailed in your ballot or even forgot, don’t sweat it. Get it in by 8 pm Tuesday and you’ll be among the many locals who have cast their ballots–even during a pandemic.
Voter turnout is on par with the past presidential election year, 2016, said the Deschutes County Clerk’s office. As of May 14, Deschutes County had received 22.6% of its ballots. In the 2016 primary election, the total percentage of ballots received on the same day was also at 22.6%, the clerk’s office reported.
But if you have yet to drop yours off, we’ve got you covered with all of the ballot drop sites for this season’s election.
