In Coos County, Oregon, voters are facing a delay in receiving their ballots due to an error at the United States Postal Service. County Clerk Julie Brecke announced that voters who have not yet received their ballots should not expect them to arrive, and encouraged them to contact the county clerk’s office for assistance. The office has been inundated with calls and asks for patience from voters as they work to resolve the issue.
The Oregon Secretary of State has also been involved in seeking a public statement from the postal service to address the delays and reassure voters that it was simply a mailing issue. With Election Day approaching, the delay in receiving ballots has raised concerns for voters in Coos County who may not have enough time to cast their votes.

The county clerk’s office is urging eligible voters who have not received their ballots to contact them promptly to ensure they can still participate in the upcoming election.
