How Chantico residents can register and vote in the special election
Summary
Officials said the last day to register is May 20; they will confirm whether online registration is available and noted that registration forms are sometimes available at post offices or the DMV.
Residents asked several practical questions about how and when to register and vote in the county-run special election. A Zoom attendee asked whether the registration deadline was “tomorrow,” and the Chair corrected that the last day to register is a week from the posting, identified in the meeting as May 20. “So the May 20 is the last day to register to vote,” the Chair said.
On whether registration must be done in person, the Chair said she will confirm the rules with the county clerk but believed online registration may be an option and promised to follow up with a confirmation. A staff comment added that some post offices sometimes carry voter-registration forms; another resident noted the DMV may offer paperwork as well. The Chair said she will check availability with the county and notify residents of the confirmed process.
On ballot return, the Chair reiterated that ballots mailed by Wasco County must be returned or postmarked by June 17, and that residents can drop ballots in a ballot box in The Dalles if they choose to drive there. The meeting did not provide complete instructions about in-person registration or additional local drop-off options beyond the Dalles box; the Chair said she will confirm those details and follow up with residents.
