As election officials, our priority is to accurately count every vote. Oregon's postmark law says ballots postmarked on or before Nov 3 are on time even if USPS delivers them up to 7 days after Election Day. Thanks for your patience as we ensure the accuracy of our election.

I love this country & our free, fair American elections. I'm not afraid to be transparent and answer all your questions. Today, I'm talking about an online rumor about our voter rolls. Spoiler alert: sometimes it's not a conspiracy. #OregonVotes #OregonElections #OregonNews

Mayor Beaty & I just visited a drop box & celebrated the many Oregonians who were dropping off their ballots. We recommend mailing your ballot back at least 1 week before Election Day or use an official drop box up until 8:00 PM on Election Day. More: oregonvotes.gov/dropbox

Let's be clear: We welcome transparency. Anyone can observe our elections, but it is not legal for anyone to interfere with them – even the Civil Rights Division of the US DOJ. We are prepared. We will follow the law. We will make sure the US DOJ does the same. #oregonelections

Dead people are not voting. There’s a widespread voter fraud myth that people are stealing ballots from recently deceased voters and casting them to change the results of an election. Friends, that’s nonsense, and here's why: #OregonVotes #OregonElections #OregonNews #OrPol

Our hearts are with the Bend community after today's horrific shooting. These heartbreaking scenes are far too familiar and never less painful. This is preventable. We have to do more to protect our kids.
