What is Oregon Motor Voter?


Oregon Motor Voter is a voter registration law passed in 2016. It gives a way for more people in Oregon to become registered voters.

If you are eligible to vote and go to the Oregon DMV to get a license, permit, or ID card, automatic voter registration is available.

After you visit the DMV, you will get a card and envelope from the Oregon State Elections Office.

With this card, you have three options:

  • Do nothing. In 21 days, you will be registered to vote as a nonaffiliated voter (not a member of a political party).

  • Choose a political party by returning the card. Joining a political party will allow you to vote in that party’s primary elections.

  • Use the card to opt out and decline to register to vote.

If you register, you will receive a ballot and instructions in the mail.
