This story will be updated with results on the 2024 Oregon's 4th U.S. Congressional District race.
The deadline for new Oregon voters has passed, but those who need to update their voter registration may still do so. These last-minute registrations may be done online, but voters will need to pick up their ballot in person from their county elections office, which is also where registered voters who need a replacement ballot should go.
In Oregon, ballots may be counted if they are postmarked by election day and received within seven days of the election. However, election officials generally recommend against placing ballots in the mail this close to election day.
Voters can check the status of their ballot through oregonvotes.gov/myvote.
