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

If you are not yet 18 years of age, you will not receive a ballot until an election occurs on or after your 18th birthday.

Alternative to Registering Online

Instead of registering to vote online you can complete a Voter Registration form and return it to your county elections office.

Deschutes County Elections Office
1300 NW Wall St, 2nd floor, Bend OR 97703
P.O. Box 6005 Bend, OR 97708-6005
Phone: 541-388-6547

What You Will Need to Register
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. 

Registration Deadline

A new registrant must submit their online registration by 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the 21st calendar day before an election to be eligible to vote in that election.
