State significance

Oregon is one of only eight states to conduct entirely all mail-in elections, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Oregon is considered a Democratic stronghold in presidential races. Biden won 56% of the state in the 2020 general election against Trump; the state has voted for the Democratic nominee for president since the 1988 presidential election.

One significant race is the state’s 5th Congressional District election, where Democratic challenger Janelle Bynum hopes to flip back the seat held by Republican incumbent Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who flipped the seat red in 2022.

Counties are colored red or blue when the % expected vote reporting reaches a set threshold. This threshold varies by state and is based on patterns of past vote reporting and expectations about how the vote will report this year.
