Clatsop Election Ballots out Tues, October 19th

Ballots for the Nov. 2nd General Election will be mailed out to all Clatsop County voters starting next Tuesday, October 19th.
Voters will notice that some candidates on the ballot are identified with more than one political party. This is the result of changes adopted by the 2009 Oregon Legislature creating a new process for political parties to nominate their respective candidates called “Cross Nomination.” This new process allows candidates to receive the nomination of up to three parties and to have those nominations printed on the ballot by the candidates’ names.
Ballots can be tracked on the web on the site “Oregon Votes dot org”. From this site you can find out whether you are registered to vote, and after you have mailed or dropped off your ballot, confirm that your county elections office received your ballot.
