Election Season Is Wildfire Season. These Voters Lost Everything.

“Where the fires make it complicated is if you’ve been displaced, either because you’ve just had your home and everything destroyed … or even if you’re temporarily displaced because of so much smoke or disruption in your community,” Kate Titus, executive director of Common Cause Oregon, said. “Those folks may be registered, but they’ve got their mind on many other things right now.”

Someone whose home has just burned down doesn’t necessarily know they will be living more than five weeks from now. “A lot of people in this chaotic situation aren’t sure yet where they will be on Election Day,” she says. (Common Cause supports the voter registration deadline being moved to as close as election day so people can re register new addresses as needed.)
