“For the most part we are really well covered because we’ve done this for a long time,” Marion County Clerk Bill Burgess, said. “Go to www.oregonvotes.gov and see if you’re registered in the right place and under the right name,” he advised. “If something’s changed, we can get you a new ballot. We kill the old ballot and send you a new ballot.”
