News Release from Lane Co. Government
Posted on FlashAlert: September 16th, 2024 11:04 AM

The Lane County Elections Office was notified on September 13 that the Oregon Department of Motor Vehicles had mistakenly marked 11 non-citizens as eligible to vote in Lane County and those people were subsequently registered by the Oregon Elections Division.

 

After a careful audit, Lane County Elections can confirm none of the 11 mistakenly registered non-citizens returned a ballot in Lane County.

 

The non-citizen registrations have been removed from Lane County’s active voter roll and they will no longer receive ballots, including for the upcoming November 5 General Election. Those 11 people will be contacted by letter to inform them of the error.

 

Lane County remains committed to a transparent and accountable elections process and is appreciative of the Oregon Elections Division’s swift action to notify election officials across the state of this error.

If you have evidence that an election law is being violated, including evidence of unlawful voting, it should be reported at sos.oregon.gov/investigation.
