The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind our community to be vigilant in monitoring their mail as it is delivered to them. Mail theft unfortunately occurs throughout the year, but historically begins to rise at this time during the year through the holidays. Earlier on this date, it was reported to DCSO that a large amount of mail was located on the side of the road near Hunnel Rd and Loco Rd.
There were several unopened ballots located within this found mail. All ballots were returned to the Deschutes County Clerk’s Office to be re-issued to the affected voters. If you have not received your ballot by Wednesday, 10/23/24, you should contact the Deschutes County Clerk Steve Dennison at 541-388-6547.
The Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office recommends you to check your mail frequently and avoid leaving it in their mailboxes overnight.
