When will we know Oregon’s 2026 election results?

The count by the hour, election night 2024

The biggest counties, and when each was in

Each percentage is of that county’s own final count, not of the state’s. “none” means the feed showed no votes yet; “not measured” means the feed did not carry the county’s count at that time, which is not the same as zero. A time after 2:37 AM is the first archived copy at that level; the archive has no copy between 2:37 AM and 2:37 PM on Nov. 6, so the count may have passed it earlier.

What comes late, and why

Takes days. AP: first reports focus on ballots cast before Election Day, and ballots postmarked by Election Day count if they arrive up to seven days later, so results shift as late ballots are processed. About 80% of the 2020 vote was reported by midnight ET (polls close at 11 p.m. ET).

Sources: AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Oregon on Election Day (AP, syndicated by iNFOnews); Newsweek: Map shows when mail-in ballots must arrive in each state (2026). These describe the 2020, 2022 and 2024 elections and the rules in force when they were read; they are not a statement about 2026.
