What’s on my November 2026 ballot in Sherwood?
Locally, only incumbents are running unopposed this year.
SHERWOOD, Ore. — Many Sherwood voters are receiving their ballots in the mail for the upcoming November 3 election.
This fall’s election includes the mayor and three city council positions, but only features incumbents running unopposed. There is also a county commission chair position up for the vote.
Despite a presidential executive order attempting to restrict mail-in voting ahead of the November election, a federal court ruled Aug. 28 to put a temporary restraining order blocking the effort, siding with Oregon and a coalition of states that sued to stop it from taking effect ahead of this election.
When you're ready to vote, you can mail in your ballot or put it in the dropbox at City Hall, 22560 S.W. Pine St., on or before Tuesday, November 3. Sign up to track your ballot at washcovotes.org.

County Positions
Washington County Commissioner-at-Large, or County Chair, is a runoff race between current County Commissioners Nafisa Fai and Pam Treece. The May primary did not produce a candidate with the required majority of more than 50% of the vote, so the top two advanced to the November election. The current Chair, Kathryn Harrington, has a term expiring in December 2026.
Currently, Treece serves as County Commissioner for District 2, and Fai for District 1.
