This is all so interesting to me! In Oregon, we all vote by mail so the idea of a polling place and id seems weird!
Multnomah County (basically the one Portland is in) has this one the website:
- What is Vote By Mail?
In 1998 voters passed a ballot measure directing all elections to be conducted by mail, commonly called Vote By Mail. Instead of using traditional polling places where voters go to cast ballots on election day, a ballot is mailed to each registered voter. The ballot is then returned to the county elections office and is counted on election day.
- With Vote By Mail, how do I vote?
You must be registered to vote to receive a ballot. (Please see FAQ for more information.) A ballot will automatically be sent to all registered voters who are eligible to vote in the election 18 to 14 days prior to the election. Once you vote your ballot, just place it in the secrecy envelope, seal it and place it in the return envelope. Make sure to sign the return envelope after verifying your name and current residence address is correct. Then place a first-class stamp on the return envelope and mail it back. Remember that all ballots must be received at the elections office by 8:00 p.m. on election day. Postmarks do not count.
We do a lot of things different in Oregon though.
