Primed for the Primaries: Your Vote Starts Here
The 2026 election season is underway and every state has an election this year! There are more than 45,000 seats on the ballot in 2026, including all 435 U.S. House of Representatives, 35 U.S Senators, 36 governors, 19,000+ city council seats, 18,000+ school board members, 6,000+ state legislators, 3,000+ mayors and city executives, 1,000+ judges, and so much more.
In Oregon, the Primary Election is exactly 3 months away: May 19, 2026.
If you vote in another state (Oregon lets college students choose if they want to vote here or in their home state), your upcoming election might be even sooner.
Either way, it’s time to make sure your voter registration (especially mailing address!) is up-to-date.
