Voters will vote for candidates and ballot measures. Measures are questions or issues that voters decide on. You can vote for a candidate in any party.

Everyone can vote for U.S. Senators, U.S. Representatives, and Oregon Governor.

Some voters can also vote for local candidates like Mayor, Sheriff or Commissioner. Everyone can vote on statewide ballot measures. Some voters can also vote for local ballot measures for their city, county, or district.

There are no statewide ballot measures to vote on in November 2026.
