@Sheril@mastodon.social I voted last week and got confirmation my ballot was delivered! 😁 For all the other Oregon voters out there - be sure to put your ballot in a drop box by 8 PM on Tuesday, November 3 (tomorrow) It's way too late to put them in the mail!

TL;DR It's best to use a drop box to return completed mail ballots! "Oregon and Coos County officials push drop boxes amid mail delays" https://www.opb.org/article/2026/09/27/oregon-and-coos-county-officials-push-drop-boxes-amid-mail-delays/ "Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read joined Coos County Clerk Julie Brecke at a town hall meeting in North Bend Thursday, where they urged voters to use ballot drop boxes for the November election and announced a new drop box expected to open in Charleston in October." #USPol #Oregon #Elections #Voting #VoteByMail #MailBallots

From NPR (no paywall) "The Supreme Court rejects Trump's mail voting restrictions for this year's midterms" https://www.npr.org/2026/09/14/nx-s1-5962190/supreme-court-mail-in-voting-trump "The Supreme Court has ruled against President Trump, rejecting his efforts to enact new mail-in voting restrictions for the midterm election. The ruling released Monday by the high court means the U.S. Postal Service is expected to continue delivering ballots as usual." #USPol #Elections #Voting #VoteByMail #USPS #SCOTUS #VoterSuppression #Resist

A win for democracy. Suck on this! Appeals court rejects Trump bid to curb mail-in voting in 23 states https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jul/25/court-rejects-trump-mail-in-voting #VoteByMail #USPS #TrumpMustGo #KingOfTreason #RepublicansDidThis #NoRepublicansEverAgain #USPol

"‘Not about improving elections’: Oregon secretary of state slams new Trump election threats" https://www.opb.org/article/2026/07/21/oregon-election-threats-trump-tobias-read/ "Secretary of State Tobias Read urged Oregonians to turn their ballots in at dropboxes if they live more than 50 miles from the Portland area." Dropboxes are "an even safer, more reliable way because we don’t have to worry about the post office… That’ll go directly to the elections office." #USPol #Oregon #Elections #Voting #VoteByMail #Resist

The US Postal Service (USPS) published a proposed rule to allow the federal government to control who can cast a mail-in or absentee ballot. States would have to send a list of every voter slated to receive a ballot by mail to the USPS. Public comments are now being accepted on this rule.
