Lane County Elections is a division of the County Clerk’s office and is charged with voter registration and administration of Federal, State, and Local elections within Lane County. The Elections team is committed to conducting Fair, Accessible, Secure, Transparent, Equitable, and Reliable (F.A.S.T.E.R.) Elections.

Oregon has the most convenient voting system in the country. Since adopting vote-by-mail, Oregon consistently ranks as a national leader in voter turnout and security.

Active registered voters receive an official ballot to complete and return. The ballot can be mailed or dropped off at any official drop box in the state.

Ballots must be received or mailed with a valid post mark by 8 p.m. on Election Day.

Motor Voter Registration (DMV)

Many, but not all transactions at DMV register you to vote. If your DMV transaction registered you to vote, note that there is up to a 21 day waiting period before you are officially registered. If you believe you registered at DMV, it is important to verify your registration status on My Vote to ensure you met the registration deadline.

If you have an Oregon Driver’s License or ID and you do not find your current voter registration in My Vote, it does not hurt to submit a new registration by registering online. This will ensure you are registered in time and may cast a ballot!

Not sure if you were previously registered through Motor Voter? Voters with an Oregon Driver’s License or ID may register online or update their registration using My Vote.

If you don’t have a current Oregon Driver’s License or ID, you may print the paper form here and deliver it to our office in-person, by mail, fax, or email. Don’t have a printer? No problem, voter registration cards are available at the post office and most libraries. We’re also happy to mail you one if needed.
