Clackamas County Elections Mails Ballots to 319,750 Voters for the May 20, 2025 Special District Election
According to a press release from Clackamas County, Oregon, the county’s elections department has begun mailing special district election ballots to the 319,750 registered voters in the county. The ballots were mailed starting on Wednesday, April 30, 2025, and voters are encouraged to look for their ballot to arrive in a brightly colored 6-by-9-inch ballot packet with the “Official Election Mail” logo on the envelope.
As reported by Clackamas County, voters can sign up for Track Your Ballot, a free service that allows them to follow their ballot from mailed to accepted. This service alerts voters via text, phone, or email and has already been signed up by more than 56,000 Clackamas County voters. If a voter’s ballot envelope is not signed or their signature does not match, they will be notified through the system, allowing them to take action to ensure their vote can be counted.
The Clackamas County Elections department has confirmed that there are 25 official ballot drop sites open across the county, including several locations in various cities. Notably, the ColtonTel official ballot drop site is temporarily closed due to construction at that location through December 2025, and Colton residents are advised to choose an alternate location. Voters can return their ballot by mail or to an official ballot drop site by 8 p.m. on Election Day, May 20, 2025, with no postage needed.
