Ballots Arriving Soon and Must Be Cast by May 19
(Roseburg, Oregon) – Ballots for the upcoming May 19 Election will be arriving in the mail soon for registered voters in Douglas County.
Ballots must be cast no later than 8:00 pm on May 19, 2026. Douglas County voters can use either the USPS or any official ballot drop site, in Oregon, to cast their ballot, through 8:00 pm on Election Day. If you use the USPS, we still recommend mailing your ballot at least one week in advance of Election Day to be safe. If you take your ballot to the post office on or near Election Day, ask them to stamp your envelope with a hand-cancellation stamp (postmark). To find a nearby official ballot drop site, visit Douglas County Ballot Drop Site Locations. Note the new location for the UCC ballot drop site, near the UCC library.
The Douglas County Clerk would like to remind voters;
- All registered voters will receive a ballot based on their residence address and political party affiliation as of the registration deadline, which was April 28, 2026.
- In order to receive an official ballot for the May Election, you must be registered to vote, and your voter registration must be up to date.
- Registered Oregon voters who need to update their registration information, other than party affiliation, have until 8:00 pm on May 19, 2026.
- Recent registration changes may occur after ballots were printed and may cause a 2nd ballot to be issued. This ballot will contain a blue slip of paper and is the correct ballot to cast.
- If registered voters haven’t received their ballot by Friday, May 8, 2026, please contact or visit our office.
- Before turning in a ballot, make sure you have reviewed and completed both sides of the ballot.
- Make sure you sign your ballot return envelope, where it lists your printed name and address.
- Make sure you sign the ballot return envelope in the same manner as your most current voter registration card. For reference, see your signature on your Oregon Driver License or ID.
