Time To Vote

November 6, 2012 is Election Day.  Oregon ballots have been mailed (October 19-23) and, if you are a registered voter, you should have your ballot.





Leading up to the election you might enjoy checking out Nate Silver's political blog at the New York Times, Five Thirty Eight for a discussion of national trends, poll results, electoral college predictions, and historical context of the national campaigns and elections.







Check out Open Secrets to learn about some of the donors, political action committees, outside spenders, and industries supporting national and state candidates.  Who's funding Art Robinson?  Peter DeFazio?

The League of Women Voters of Oregon provide lots of information on Oregon elections, ballot measures, candidates, money in politics, and more.  Click on the Education tab to find their voters' guide for overviews and analysis of issues in the upcoming state and national elections.


The Oregonian newspaper should have election results for the state and nation once election night arrives and precincts start reporting.


Douglas County Election results will be posted by the Douglas County Clerk's Office on their website, usually updated several times throughout election night.
