Ballots have started to come back in for Oregon’s May 21 primary election after being mailed out late last week.  Wasco County reports that just over three percent of ballots have been returned as of Tuesday, slightly over the return rates for primary elections in 2020 and 2022.  In Hood River County, the ballot return at the end of Tuesday was 2.74%, up from the just over two percent of 2022, but less than half of what was returned at the same point in 2020.
