Qualifications to Register to Vote

To register to vote in Oregon, you must be:

  • A U.S. citizen
  • A resident of Oregon
  • At least 16 years old
What You Will Need

To register to vote online you will need an Oregon driver license, permit or ID card number issued by the Oregon Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Division (DMV).

If you do not have an Oregon driver ​license, permit or ID card, you can still use the online voter registration application. The information you enter will display on a voter registration card (PDF document) that you will need to print, sign and deliver to your county elections office to complete your registration.

Check your registration

  • Recently moved?
  • Became a citizen?
  • Changed your name?
  • Turned 16?*
  • Want to change parties?
  • Been a while since you last voted and aren't sure if you're registered?
