Multnomah County, Washington County doing away with secrecy sleeves for ballots – By Jamie Goldberg (The Oregonian/OregonLive) / April 26, 2022
Oregon voters may notice something missing when they open their ballots for the May 17 primary.
About half the counties in Oregon, including Multnomah and Washington, will not include a “secrecy sleeve” in the ballot packets that will be sent to voters beginning Wednesday.
Secrecy sleeves are partial envelopes that voters can place their completed ballots inside so that election workers can’t see how they voted. But now that ballot return envelopes are opened by machines, not humans, ballots remain private even without a secrecy sleeve.
