Other registration updates (address, party, etc.) can be done fully online via the My Vote tool if you have an Oregon driver license/ID number, but a NAME change specifically requires completing a new paper voter registration form submitted to your county elections office - it cannot be done through My Vote. New registrations must be submitted by 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time on the 21st calendar day before an election; existing registered voters can update registration info up until 8 p.m. on Election Day and still cast a ballot, though updates typically take a few days to process.
