This part of your Voters' Pamphlet is provided by your Multnomah County Elections Division. It includes information about candidates and measures from local jurisdictions within the boundaries of Multnomah County . We have inserted the County's Voter Pamphlet in the State pamphlet to save on mailing and production costs. The State Pamphlet (on either side of the red color bar portion) includes federal and state candidates as well as state measures. Ballots will be mailed on Friday, October 15, 2010. If you do not receive your ballot by October 21 please contact our office at 503-988-3720.
Here are a few things you should know:
- Voted ballots MUST be received at any county elections office or drop site location by 8:00 PM, Tuesday, November 2, 2010 to be counted.
- There is something new on your ballot this election. A new law allows cross nomination of partisan candidates. Candidates for partisan office can receive the nomination of up to three political parties. The party names are abbreviated but there is a key to the abbreviations on your ballot in the upper right corner of the front page. This only affects candidates for partisan offices so none of the candidates in the Multnomah County book will be cross nominated. For more information please see Secretary of State Kate Brown's letter in the front of the State book.
- Not all the candidates or measures in this Voters' Pamphlet will be on your ballot. Your residence address determines those districts for which you may vote. Your official ballot will contain the candidates and issues which apply to your residence.
- Not all candidates submitted information for the Voters' Pamphlet so you may have candidates on your ballot that are not in the Voters' Pamphlet.
- This Voters' Pamphlet is on our website: www.mcelections.org . Starting at 8:00 PM on election night, preliminary election results will be posted on our website and updated throughout the evening.
- If a ballot was delivered to your residence for someone who should no longer be receiving a ballot at your address, please write “RETURN” on the envelope and place it back in your mailbox. If a ballot was sent to someone who is deceased, please write “DECEASED” on the envelope and place it back in your mailbox.
If you have any questions you can contact our office at: 503-988-3720.
Sincerely,
Tim Scott
Multnomah County Director of Elections
