Secretary Read Celebrates National Voter Registration Day: 'Your Vote is Your Power. Use It.'

Oregon voters can make sure they are ready to vote by registering or confirming their voter registration online

Today, September 15, is National Voter Registration Day, and Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read is encouraging Oregonians to mark the day by registering to vote or making sure their voter registration is up to date.

Oregonians can register to vote at OregonVotes.gov/Register or can check their registration at OregonVotes.gov/MyVote.

To register, prospective voters will need an Oregon driver license or ID card, or the last four digits of their Social Security number.

Only U.S. citizens who reside in Oregon and are at least 16 years old can register to vote. Registered voters must be at least 18 years old by election day to receive a ballot.

"It takes less than 2 minutes to register to vote or to check your voter registration to make sure you are ready to cast your ballot this November," Secretary Read said. "Voting is how citizens hold government and politicians accountable, it's how we select representatives at all levels of government, and it's how we collectively decide the direction for our state and our nation. Your vote is your power. Use it."
