Special Election Nov. 3rd, Oct. 2

News release from Coos Co. Clerk Terry Turi. A Special Election in Coos County will be held on November 3, 2015. Ballots will be mailed to all active, registered voters on October 16, 2015. Voters should receive their ballots between October 17th – October 23rd. Military, overseas and out of state ballots are mailed earlier. If voters in Coos County have not received their ballot in the mail by Friday, October 23rd, they should contact the Coos County Election’s office. The last day for new registrations in Oregon for this election is October 13th, postmarks do count. I would also like to stress that ballots are not forwarded by the post office, so if a voter has moved or changed a mailing address, they must complete a new registration form to update their address. This may be done online at www.oregonvotes.gov or by completing a new registration card and returning it to the Elections office. The cost of postage to return a Coos County ballot for this election will be 49 cents, or the voters may choose to drop their ballot off at a local drop site located throughout the county. The list of drop site locations for this election is listed on our website at www.co.coos.or.us and will also be printed directly on the ballot. An elector may verify that their ballot has been received by the Election office through the Oregon Secretary of State’s website at www.oregonvotes.gov “My Vote.” Electors may also register or update their registration through this site. A public certification and demonstration of ballot programming and tabulation will be held on Tuesday, October 27th, at 4:00 p.m. in the Election office at the Courthouse in Coquille. Enclosed with this informational letter is a copy of a blank Sample Totals Report, which will indicate tabulation results at various times on election night. The first report will be available shortly after 8:00 pm on Election Day, with subsequent reports following every hour (or so) until the final unofficial report when the tabulation is complete for the night. These reports are available to you by email and website. You may also call at any time (beginning shortly after 8:00 p.m.) for the latest tabulation results; we try to email each report to all media agencies; check the website for the latest update of results at www.co.coos.or.us and click on Election Results.
