Highlights:

  • Oregon, the first state to conduct all elections by mail, would join the ranks of states accepting ballots postmarked by election day.
  • When a voter signs the back of the envelope that contains a mail ballot — the signature will be compared to one on file with the county elections office — there will be a statement attesting that the envelope was mailed on or before election day.
