Oregon voters will soon begin receiving their ballots for the May 18 special district elections.  The ballot includes races for local school boards, port districts, and other special districts that provide leadership and direction on essential public services.  Voters can mail back their ballot using the pre-paid postage envelope that accompanies each ballot or they can return their ballots to any official drop box location throughout the state.  Voters with questions about their ballot should contact their county elections office.  More information is available oregonvotes.gov.
