Most ballots have been delivered to Linn County voters and a relative few have been marked and returned to the county's Election Office.

Due to population increases and high interest in the Nov. 4 election, Linn County sent out a record high 64,565 ballots this year. More will go out to voters who registered late or are updating information.

Anyone who has not received a ballot and thinks they are registered may check with the elections office at 967-3831 or go online to www.co.linn.or.us/clerk.htm, click on "November 4 General Election Voter Information on the home page and click on "Are you registered to vote?," which is a link to the secretary of state's office. You will have to enter your name and address.

To change your name or address, make out a new registration card and take it in or mail it to the Linn County Clerk's office. The address is PO Box 100, Albany OR 97321.
