A few notes on election results as we watch various media organization declare winners... pdx.vote/2022-general-electi…
Need some help filling out your ballot here in Portland? Here are some recommendations! pdx.vote/may-2023-voters-gui…
I'm taking off some time now that the general election is over, so I won't be updating in the near future.
Head's up Clackamas County voters: County Clerk Sherry Hall has announced that Clackamas County will only release election results this evening once (at 8:10pm). The next update won't be until Wednesday evening. clackamas.us/elections/novem…
This is unusual, though not a violation of election laws. Multnomah County will release updates every two hours from 8pm on tonight, while Washington County expects to release updates at least three times tonight oregonlive.com/politics/2022…
A change to the update schedule nitter.cf/Jamiebgoldberg/status/…
Clackamas County has reversed course and now plans to report updated election results at about 8 and 10:30 p.m. tonight. They are still planning to update results less frequently than other counties oregonlive.com/politics/2022…

However you're voting, @PDXdotVote has the most researched and well-documented guide available. pdx.vote/
Today is the absolute last chance to get your ballot in! You need to either drop it off at an official ballot drop site by 8 pm tonight or get it in the mail and postmarked today.
Tomorrow is your last chance to get your ballot in, folks. If you haven't had a chance to read up on the candidates or measures yet, here's the PDX.Vote guide (with tons of links if you want to stay up and cram on the details): pdx.vote/november-2022-gener…
Are election laws fairly enforced in Oregon — or barely enforced? Here's a look at the investigations and judgments so far in the 2022 election cycle (including a deep dive into Rene Gonzalez's office space issues) pdx.vote/oregons-election-la…
Not sure if you'll be able to get to a ballot drop box before 8pm tomorrow? Drop your ballot in the mail! You don't even need postage! A word of caution, though: double check when that mail box gets picked up to ensure your ballot will be postmarked in time.
We just need to make it through five more days of reminders to return our ballots and then we're free! (At least until the next election...)
If you've already voted, this weekend is a good time to check in with your friends and family to see if anyone needs help getting their ballot in. A simple "Hey, do you need a ride to drop off your ballot?" goes a long way.
Can't find your ballot? Or did your ballot get damaged? Contact your county elections office ASAP!!! You can arrange a time to pick up a new ballot (and even complete and return your ballot all in the same trip).
Ballots are due back Tuesday, so that makes this the ideal weekend for a voting party! Grab some friends, some snacks, and the PDX.Vote guide — instant party! pdx.vote/november-2022-gener…

Vote NO on Measure 114. While you're at it, you can take the guess work out of harm reduction options by looking at this voting guide put together by a trusted comrade. As always, true change will come through community organizing, class struggle, and street politics.
The PDX.Vote guide for the general election is here! Grab your ballot and get to voting!!! This guide covers elections affecting residents of the Portland metro area (including Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties). pdx.vote/november-2022-gener…
One week to go on this election and just over 15% of voters have returned their ballots in Multnomah County. Washington County hasn't hit 12% yet, while Clackamas County is nearing 19%.
How are y'all feeling about Ballot Measure 26-228? Is the ninth time going to be the charm to change Portland's dysfunctional system of government?
