Check Your Voter Registration before the Oct. 15 Deadline

Clackamas County Elections Oregon City office will be open until 7 p.m. to assist voters.

Oregon City, OR – County Clerk Catherine McMullen reminds voters that Tuesday, Oct. 15 is the Voter Registration Deadline for the November 5, 2024 General Election. To be eligible to register to vote in Oregon, you must:

Oregon voters with a valid Oregon driver's license or ID card can register online at OregonVotes.gov . If you do not have a valid or current Oregon license or ID card, you will need to fill out a paper Oregon Voter Registration Card.

Paper registration cards are available at the U.S. Post Office, public libraries, and the Clackamas County Elections Oregon City office. 

If you are already registered to vote we ask that you check that your address and name are up to date in your voter registration record. Voters can update their information online at OregonVotes.gov or with an Oregon Voter Registration Card.
