May Primary Elections – Mail-in, Drop-off procedure
PRESS RELEASE
From the Jackson County Elections Office
Vote by Mail Ballots Delivered
Ballots for the May 21, 2024, Presidential Primary Election will be delivered to the USPS processing facility on Thursday, May 2, 2024. Please allow time for your ballot to be delivered and as early as the weekend after being processed. If you do not receive a ballot by Friday, May 10, 2024, and you are a registered voter, contact the elections office at 541-774-6148 to ask for a replacement ballot. Once a new ballot has been issued your originally ballot materials will be inactivated.
Ballots in Oregon will be sent to voters with a prepaid postage return envelope and the Post Office will charge the State of Oregon for each ballot sent back to an Elections Official. Only those ballots sent back through the mail will be charged to the State.
Postmarks Count! Ballots received from the USPS after election day will be accepted if they are postmarked on or before election day May 21, 2024 and received by the 7th day after the election. If you plan to use an Official Ballot Drop Box, your ballot must be deposited in a box not later than 8pm, May 21, 2024.
The optional secrecy sleeve is no longer included with your ballot packet due to the ballot
return envelope being enhanced with a printed security weave on the inside that protects the
privacy of your ballot. Your privacy and the secrecy of your vote has always been and will
continue to be protected throughout the ballot counting process.
