Oregon voter registration for the Nov. 4, 2025 Special Election closed on Oct. 14, as announced by Secretary of State Tobias Read.

Just 17 of Oregon’s 36 counties will hold elections this November, allowing voters a chance to weigh in on everything from fire department levies to bonds for recreation facilities and whether citizens should be able to veto expensive public projects. More than half of all counties – 19, to be exact – have nothing on the ballot.

The deadline to register to vote in the election is Tuesday at 11:59 p.m. Ballots will be mailed to voters beginning Wednesday. There are only a handful of measures on the November ballot.
