Secrecy Envelope Becomes Secrecy Sleeve

As you open up your ballot for the May 15 primary in Oregon, you’ll notice a change to what used to be the secrecy envelope.  There is now a secrecy sleeve in which to slide your completed ballot into.  Election officials say when the ballot is inserted in the sleeve, it will extend beyond the sleeve slightly on the right side.  This makes it easier for election workers to see that a ballot exists, and can be easily pulled from the sleeve during the opening process.  Do not use tape or fold the ballot further.  The ballot and sleeve are then placed in the signature envelope, which election officials remind us must be signed for the ballot to be counted.
