Day 81 - Portland, OR - Voting in the Oregon Democratic Primary
Today I figured out how I needed to vote in the Oregon Democratic Primary, and in the interest of civic duty, I decided I would share what I found out with the audience. It's not terribly hard, but you do have to jump through a couple of hoops. I am making it more complicated on myself by being out of town when the ballots are getting mailed out. Oregon is a primary and not a caucus (so that's nice), but it is a closed primary, so you have to register Democratic if you want to its in the Democratic primary. The easy way to do this is to go to a local public library and fill the form out and mail it in. But you have to do this by April 26. The primary isn't until May 17 but if you're not registered by April 26 you can't vote.
So get off your tuckus and go get that voter registration form filled out!
