What goes in the fax
Fax the pages together, to the line your election office uses for ballots.
Every page of it, including any page you left blank.
An Oregon military or overseas voter who faxes a ballot must send the voted ballot, the signed ballot-return envelope, and the Secret Ballot Waiver Form, SEL 531.
Open the formThe Oregon Secretary of State's form SEL 531, Fax or Email Vote Secret Ballot Waiver Form for Military and Overseas Voters, is the signed waiver of a secret ballot that travels with a faxed ballot, its return envelope, and the voter's statement.

Oregon sends the ballot fax number with your ballot. Each county is below with a number to call first.
From the Oregon directory, checked September 30, 2026.
Call before you send. Fax lines change and some stop answering. A short call confirms the ballot fax number and whether the office has your ballot request. An office’s general fax is not always its ballot line.
Deadlines
A ballot an Oregon military or overseas voter returns by fax or email, with its waiver and return envelope, must be received in the county clerk's office by 8 p.m. on Election Day; the U.S. postmark rule applies only to ballots returned by mail.
sos.oregon.gov/elections/Documents/SEL531.pdfOregon mails ballots to active registered military and overseas voters at least 45 days before Election Day, and the county may also email a link to the Online Ballot Marking Tool, which presents the ballot, the Secret Ballot Waiver, and a copy of the return envelope.

Questions
Can I fax my Oregon ballot from any country?
Yes. Your county has a US fax number, and a fax to it goes out the same way wherever you are. Whether it arrives depends on the office's line, which is why each row has a number to call first.
What if my county's fax line doesn't answer?
Call the number in your county's row before you try again. A line that rings and never connects will not start working on a retry, and the office can tell you whether the number changed.
My county's row has no ballot fax. Where do I send it?
To the fax number that came with your ballot. Oregon gives it there rather than on a public list. If you can't find it, call the number in your county's row.
Do I need my own fax number to send my ballot?
No. Sending needs only the fax number your election office uses. A number of your own matters only if you want the blank ballot faxed to you.
Is this an official Oregon election site?
No. FaxTerra is a fax service. Oregon's rules come from its election authority and your county, linked under official sources.
