What does the election office do? 

The Election Office is tasked with administering and conducting all federal, state, county, city and special district elections in Coos County. This office oversees election filings, forms and voter registration. The Election Office is a division of the Office of the County Clerk in Coos County. Julie A Brecke is the County Clerk, and is the head election official for the county.

What's new in the election office? 
  • The Election Office is now sporting hot pink vests! When an Election Courier is picking up ballots from an official drop-site location, they will be wearing hot pink vests that say “Elections” across the back. Hot pink was chosen to coordinate with the pink return envelopes already used by Coos County.
  • Secrecy envelopes are no longer included in ballot packets in Coos County. This additional envelope has always been optional for voters, but now it’s no longer needed. The outer return envelope (where voters sign) now has a security weave printed directly on the inside. Voter privacy and the secrecy of your vote has always been, and continues to be, protected throughout the ballot counting process. This decision has been formally approved by the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office and saves on money and staff time. If you are interested in seeing how the ballot counting process protects voter privacy, consider signing up to observe an election.
