Multnomah County today advised voters that Friday, May 15, should be considered the last day for voters in Multnomah County to safely mail ballots in time for the May 19 Special Election. Ballots must be received by 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, May 19 to be counted. Postmarks do not count.

Voters can take advantage of any Official Ballot Drop site, located throughout the county, through 8:00 p.m., Election Day, May 19.

Voters may deposit ballots at the Multnomah County Elections Office, at 1040 SE Morrison St. An Official Drop box is located on SE 11th and on SE Belmont St. and a walk-up drop slot is available on SE Morrison St. Voters also have the option to take advantage of secure ballot drop-off locations throughout the county to minimize the need for travel and to reduce potential related traffic congestion.
