HERMISTON, Ore.-Unofficial results for Oregon’s primary election on May 19 are now in for local, regional and statewide races, bonds and ballot measures.
“I want to thank every Oregonian who turned in their ballot and made their voice heard in this important election,” said Oregon Secretary of State Tobias Read. “Our state and our country are better off when more eligible voters use their power to hold government accountable.”
According to the Secretary of State’s Office, the election was the first primary in Oregon state history with 3 million registered voters, and the number of ballots received by county election officials is tracking ahead of both the 2022 and 2024 primaries.
Here’s a look at some unofficial election results for races in Northeast Oregon and statewide.
Ballots are still being counted and verified, and results will be official when certified by the Secretary of State’s Office, no later than June 25.
