What to make of this?
State election officials say 2.4 million ballots were returned in last November's election. That is 18% more than the 2 million ballots returned in the previous presidential election year.
According to Multnomah County Election Program Communications Specialist Eric Sample, state election rules were changed between the two elections to make it easier for voters who failed to sign their ballots to submit a new signature before the final results were certified.
The result of the change was dramatic. In Multnomah County, only 16% of voters who did not sign their envelope returned a new registration card in time in 2016. After the change, that jumped to 67%.
