Calling All Non-Registered Oregonians

Tuesday is the deadline to register if you want to vote in the May 18 primary.

You can register online at the state Elections Division's website. The deadline for online registration is 11:59 p.m. Tuesday.

You also can mail in voter registration cards. Registration forms also may be printed from the Elections Division site. Registrations sent by surface mail will be valid for next month's primary election if postmarked no later than Tuesday.

To check your registration, got to oregonvotes.org and click on Am I Registered to Vote?

Ballots start going in the mail on Friday. They must be received by your county elections office no later than 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 18. Postmarks don't count for ballots.

To bone up on candidates and issues, use The Oregonian's Voter Guide.

Registration forms are available at the post office, the Public Library across from Central Park on Monroe, and probably (though I'm not positive about these) at various locations on the OSU campus, such as the MU front desk, the OSU Bookstore, and the Valley Library.

Can't vote if you don't register. And don't complain if you don't vote.
