Your ballot’s postmark matters. 📬🗳️

If you return your ballot by mail, a clear USPS postmark helps verify it was mailed on time and may determine whether it can be counted under state law.

Watch this short video from our USPS partners to learn why postmarks are important.

We recommend mailing your ballot at least 7 days before Election Day or returning it early at an official ballot drop box. Find locations near you at www.clatsopcounty.gov/elections
