Oregon’s Public Records law (ORS 192) requires that public records requests:
- Be in writing.
- Include contact information.
- Clearly state what records are sought.
You can submit your public records request through the Multnomah County Public Records Center by following these steps:
- In the Public Records Center, choose "Submit a Records Request"
- From the list of Departments, select the Elections Division
- Log in; if you are a new requester, create an account using a valid email address
- Select or describe in as much detail as possible the record(s) you are requesting
- Submit your request
Multnomah County will respond to your request within 5 business days of receipt.
Multnomah County may charge you fees in order to be reimbursed for the actual cost of making the records you have requested available. Actual costs may include materials and mailing expenses, as well as staff time spent locating, reviewing, and preparing records. You will be notified about estimated costs in advance and payment of the estimated costs will be required before Multnomah County produces the records.
If you are requesting a voter list, standard order fees will be applied:
- $25.00 set up fee per list, plus
- $0.025 per 100 voter records included in the list (there is a $5.00 minimum and $500.00 maximum on order fees)
