Coos Co. Special Election, April 5

The Special District Election in Coos County will be held on May 21, 2019.  Ballots will be mailed to all active, registered voters on May 2, 2019.  Voters should receive their ballots between May 3rd – May 9th.  Military, overseas and out of state ballots are mailed earlier.  If voters in Coos County have not received their ballot in the mail by Thursday, May 9th, they should contact the Coos County Elections office. For voters new to Oregon you must have your voter registration card postmarked or submitted to the Coos County Elections Office no later than April 30, 2019 to be eligible to vote in the May 21, 2019 Election. 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 Election office. Updates to existing registrations will be processed through Election Day. The cost of postage to return a Coos County ballot for this election will be 55¢, or the voters may choose to drop their ballot off at one of the local drop sites located throughout the county.  The list of drop site locations for this election is listed on the back of each ballot and on the Coos County Election website at http://www.co.coos.or.us/Departments/CountyClerk/Elections. 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, May 13th, at 1:00 p.m. in the Election office at the Courthouse in Coquille. The first report will be available shortly after 8:00 pm on Election Day, with the final unofficial report when the tabulation is complete for the night. These reports are available to you on the County website.  You may also call at any time (beginning shortly after 8:00 pm) for the latest tabulation results; check the website for the latest update of results at www.co.coos.or.us and click on Election Results.
