Nov. 3, 2026: Election Day Information in Multnomah County

Preliminary unofficial election results will be posted at multnomahvotes.gov starting at 8 p.m. tonight. All ranked choice voting results can be found at: rcvresults.multco.us. 

Multnomah County, Ore. (Nov. 3, 2026) — Today, Nov. 3, 2026, is the last day to vote in the General Election. Ballots must be received at any county elections office in Oregon or an Official Ballot Drop Site location by 8 p.m. tonight, or mailed and postmarked by today, Nov. 3, 2026, and received within seven days to count. 

Voters can use any Official Ballot Drop Site, as well as any Multnomah County Library Book Drop, to safely and securely return their ballots. Find your nearest Official Ballot Drop Site in Multnomah County by visiting multco.us/dropsites or by using the interactive drop site map. Ballots are continuously picked up at official drop sites by teams of sworn election officials throughout the day. 

Voters can also return their ballots to any Official Ballot Drop Site in the state. These sites will close promptly at 8 p.m. tonight.

Elections officials thank those who have already voted — and urge anyone who hasn’t returned their ballots yet to make a plan to return their ballot as soon as possible: before 8 p.m. Voting earlier helps reduce any congestion around ballot drop sites later in the day and allows your ballot to be accepted and counted sooner, too.  

Preliminary Unofficial Election Results 

Preliminary unofficial election results will be posted at multnomahvotes.gov starting at 8 p.m. tonight and will follow this schedule. Multnomah County Elections typically processes and releases results for roughly half of all expected ballots on Election Day. That percentage typically climbs to 90% by the Thursday after Election Day. 

Remember that Multnomah County’s rcvresults.multco.us website is the only place where ranked choice voting results for City of Portland and Multnomah County candidate contests will be available.

Voters can also explore Multnomah County’s interactive dashboard for updates on voter turnout, the number of ballots returned, returns by precinct, and even a breakdown of ballots returned by mail or Official Ballot Drop Site. 

Order Ahead Replacement Ballot Service

All registered voters in Multnomah County should have received their ballots by Thursday, Oct. 22, 2026. Multnomah County voters who have not received a ballot can call the Elections Office or go online and obtain a new ballot through Elections’ convenient Order Ahead Replacement Ballot Service. With high service demand typical on Election Day, the Order Ahead Replacement Ballot Service can help reduce wait times. 

Voters who use the service can shorten an in-person visit to pick up their replacement ballot at either of Elections’ two voter service sites: the Multnomah County Duniway-Lovejoy Elections Building in Southeast Portland (1040 S.E. Morrison St., Portland) and the Voting Center Express in Gresham (600 N.E. 8th St., Gresham, inside the Multnomah County East Building). 

Elections Office and Voting Center Express open until 8 p.m. tonight

The Multnomah County Duniway-Lovejoy Elections Building in Southeast Portland and the Voting Center Express in Gresham are open until 8 p.m. tonight. Elections staff are available for questions or any other elections related help.

Voters who need assistance in a language other than English can also get help in their preferred language. 

You can still sign up for Track Your Ballot!

Multnomah County voters can still sign up for the County’s Track Your Ballot service. Track Your Ballot sends alerts when your ballot is on its way to you, when it has been received and when it’s accepted for counting. More than 170,000 voters in Multnomah County have already signed up. 

Please note: If you sign up for Track Your Ballot after your ballot has been returned for the current election, you will get notifications only for future elections. To get alerts about your November General Election ballot, you must sign up before you return your ballot. Voters who have questions about the service can call Elections at 503-988-VOTE (8683) or email [email protected].

Track Your Ballot alerts and updates are available in English, Spanish, Russian, Somali, Vietnamese, Ukrainian or Chinese. 

Voters will also get access to a virtual Oregon “I Voted” sticker (ready to share on social media!) inside the “Accepted Ballot” message. Multnomah County voters can sign up by visiting multnomah.ballottrax.net.
