Flow Charts of Oregon's Vote-by-Mail Election System

What all is involved in
Oregon's Vote-by-Mail election system?
How is it different than other
mail-in ballot systems?
First, Oregon's statewide Vote-by-Mail election is NOT a typical mail-in ballot system. Any election system and process is complex and involves a number of variables. Oregon's VBM system works very well in Oregon because of a number of strict policies, procedures, and security measures in our overall election process.
Attached is a 3-page flow chart (PDF) showing Oregon's current election system infrastructure, the pre-election day VBM process, and the election day process.
Additional information, including the official Oregon VBM Manual, can be found at the Oregon Secretary of State's website at http://www.sos.state.or.us/elections/vbm/vbm.htm.
BE ADVISED: VBM will not work in all other states at this point in time, until a number of the process variables are also securely in place. For additional information, see the Oregon VRC's Election Standards Checklist, which can be found here.
