NEWS RELEASE: Today is the last day to vote in the Nov. 4, 2025 Special Election

Multnomah County, Ore. (Nov. 4, 2025) — Today, Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, is the last day to vote in the Nov. 4, 2025 Special Election.

The Nov. 4, 2025 Special Election includes just two ballot measures: one for the City of Portland and one for the Lake Oswego School District. To learn more about this election, visit multnomahvotes.gov.

The results schedule for this election is available online.

Voted ballots must be received at any county elections office in Oregon or Official Ballot Drop Site location by 8 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2025, or mailed and postmarked by Nov. 4, 2025, to be counted.

Oregon law requires all elections offices to count any mailed ballot postmarked on or before Election Day that also arrives within seven days of Election Day. However, due to recent USPS changes, ballots (or any pieces of mail) may not be postmarked on the same day they are dropped off to the post office or USPS collection box. This could make it risky to return your ballot by mail today, Election Day.

Multnomah County Elections recommends those who have not yet submitted their ballot to return it at an Official Ballot Drop Site to ensure it’s received by an election office in time to count!

Voters can use any Official Ballot Drop Site — including most Multnomah County Library 24-hour book drops — to safely and securely deposit ballots. Find your nearest Official Ballot Drop Site at multco.us/dropsites.

All registered voters should have received their ballots by Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025. Registered voters who have not received their ballots or need a replacement ballot should contact the Elections office immediately.
