Oregon conducts all elections entirely by mail, meaning registered voters receive ballots at home and traditional polling places don't exist.
Residents register through the Oregon Secretary of State's online system at https://electoralregistration.sos.state.or.us/, which requires an Oregon driver license or ID card. The registration deadline falls 21 days before any election, though the state also offers Election Day registration under certain conditions.

The city holds municipal elections for City Council positions and Mayor, typically in November of even-numbered years. The City Council consists of five members serving four-year staggered terms, while the Mayor is elected separately for a two-year term. Local ballot measures, such as city charter amendments or local option levies, also appear on November ballots. Information about candidates and local measures can be obtained from Manzanita City Hall at (503) 368-5343 and through the Tillamook County Clerk's elections page, which publishes candidate filings and local voters' pamphlets. Because Oregon is vote-by-mail, residents don't have assigned polling places; instead, ballots are mailed to registered voters approximately 18-20 days before Election Day and must be returned by 8:00 PM on Election Day either by mail (postmark does not count; must be received by deadline) or at official ballot drop boxes. The county maintains ballot drop boxes including one in Manzanita at City Hall, 534 Laneda Avenue, available 24 hours during the election period. Public election records in Oregon include voter registration lists (with some personal information redacted), campaign finance reports filed through the Oregon Elections Division's ORESTAR system at https://secure.sos.state.or.us/orestar/, candidate filings, and precinct-level election results published by the Tillamook County Clerk. Voters will decide city council and mayoral races specific to the community. Oregon voters automatically receive vote-by-mail ballots once registered; there is no separate absentee ballot application required.
