• You only need ID when registering to vote or updating your voter information.
• If you do not have an Oregon driver's license, permit, or ID card, you can still use the online voter registration application. The information you enter will be displayed on a voter registration card (PDF document) that you must print, sign, and deliver to your county elections office to complete your registration.
