WHERE TO VOTE: Find your polling place here.
HOURS: Polls open at 7:00 AM and close at 8:00 PM on Election Day. All polling locations are ADA compliant.
Polling locations will look different in light of COVID-19 safety measures. This means that booths will be spread out, hand sanitizer and disinfectant spray will be plentiful, and election workers will have plexiglass barriers, face shields, and masks. Voters are encouraged to wear a mask or cloth face covering when voting.

REGISTERING TO VOTE
Portland residents can register to vote on Election Day at your polling location.
Portland residents can also register early by mailing in a Voter Registration application or by filling out that form and visiting us in person.
How to Register: In order to register to vote, you must fill out the Voter Registration application and provide documents that show proof of identity and proof of residency. A driver's license or state identification card with the current address meets both criteria.
If you mail in your voter registration card, you must send proof of identity such as a photocopy of your driver's license or other ID or an acceptable form that shows residency.

If you are interested in working at the polls on Election Day, submit an online application for either Election Clerk or Deputy Registrar to the City Clerk's office. These are paid positions and no experience necessary; training will be provided. You do not need to be a Portland resident to apply.
After you submit the application mentioned above, you will need to complete these additional forms below prior to your training. Proof of citizenship and identity documents need to accompany the I-9 form (a passport or driver's license and SS card/birth cert). Also a voided check or letter from your financial institution confirming bank routing and account # needs to accompany the direct deposit form. All forms need to be signed and dated.
