HOW TO MAKE SURE YOUR BALLOT IS POSTMARKED BY GENERAL ELECTION DAY IN 2026

The best way to ensure your ballot is postmarked on the next General Election Day of 2026 on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, is to get it into the mail at least a week before (October 26, 2026 or earlier) or return it to an Official Ballot Drop Site on Election Day before the 8pm deadline. [Find an official drop site here.]

We don't recommend mailing your ballot on Election Day. But, if you must, here is a tip to ensure that your ballot will be counted.

  • Bring your ballot to your local USPS office and have a postal worker hand-cancel your ballot at the counter. The Multnomah County Elections Director Tim Scott recommends getting this postmark in person on or before November 3 to ensure your ballot will be counted!

Sign up for Multnomah County's Track Your Ballot option. That way, you will receive an email confirming that your ballot is delivered and then counted. You will also get an alert if there is an issue with your ballot.

Didn't get a ballot? Multnomah County provides information about how to get a replacement ballot.
