SALEM, (AP) - Oregon elections officials say some out-of-state voter registration forms arriving in the mail are causing confusion.

Political activists often use the forms - authorized by the federal Help America Vote Act - to encourage voters who support their cause to register.

But some mailings have gone to people ineligible to vote, including children and people who have died. Some recipients worry they have to complete the forms to be eligible to vote in November.

The Oregon Elections Division says voters can use the cards mailed from out of state to register.

But anybody who was registered to vote in the Oregon primary is already qualified to vote in the November election.

Elections officials also remind voters the state sends out registration cards only on request and never in mass mailings.
