The Official Election Mail Logo: The logo design features an interpretation of the stars and stripes of the American flag, and the words “Official Election Mail,” clearly visible over the designation — “Authorized by the U.S. Postal Service.”
The Official Election Mail logo is a trademarked design that can only be used on mail pieces created by, or on behalf of, an election official that is mailed to or from a U.S. citizen for the purpose of participating in the voting process. This includes items like balloting materials, voter registration cards, and voter reply mail.
It can only be printed in black or specific shades of blue or red.
If Oregonians receive mail about an election that does not have the official election mail logo, here are some important things to keep in mind: 1. If the mailer does not display the official election logo, it did not come from your local or state election office. 2. Third-party groups often use outdated or incorrect data. 3. Your local election office maintains the most accurate, up-to-date voter registration information. 4. If you want to make sure your registration is correct, go to oregonvotes.gov/myvote or call 1-866-673-VOTE.
Oregon voters! Avoid confusion, here's how to tell if you are receiving Official Elections mail from Oregon's official sources (or not). It's simple, there's an Official Election Mail logo!
