Next Election

​​​​​​​Oregon will hold a statewide primary election on May 19, 2026.

​In Oregon, major political parties nominate their party candidates at the Primary Election. Major parties have the option of choosing a closed primary, meaning only voters registered with that party can vote for candidates of the same party. Those nominees then appear on the November General Election ballot. All registered voters can participate in the General Election, regardless of their party affiliation. 

All voters, regardless of party affiliation, will be able to vote for non-partisan races and for measures, if any, at the Primary Election.
