Oregon 2026 Primary Elections
Today is primary election day in Oregon. County clerk’s offices are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., and official drop sites close at 8 p.m. Mailed ballots must be postmarked by Election Day, and ballots placed in official drop boxes must be received by 8 p.m.
Editor's note on the scope of our coverage
OPB’s goal each election season is to bring you the news and information you need to make informed decisions when your ballot arrives. That includes results on the most high-profile elections in Oregon and Southwest Washington. But it doesn’t include every race. While OPB is headquartered in Portland, we have offices and journalists in Southwest Washington, Central Oregon and Eastern Oregon, so our more extensive election coverage tends to focus on those parts of the region.
