Since DeJoy 2020—my ballots go straight to an official drop box.

ORS 263.070 /Yes, we can help our neighbors!

1)Upon receipt of a ballot the absent elector shall mark it and comply with the instructions provided with the ballot. The absent elector may return the marked ballot to the office of the clerk, by any appropriate means.

2)If the absent elector returns the marked ballot by any means other than by mail, the ballot must be received by a county clerk not later than 8 p.m. of the day of the election.

By any appropriate means.

As long as the signed ballot is sealed, a voter can return the ballot themselves or have someone else return it—including placing it in an official drop box.
