This isn't a comprehensive list, so feel free to add more parties in the comments. The more the merrier!

(FYI, I've left off a handful of parties that are being held at candidates' homes, or for whom RSVP is required. Presumably they are directly inviting the folks they want to invite.)

Meanwhile, if you still need to drop off your ballot, check out the handy, easy-to-use, zoomable, searchable ballot dropbox map at dropsites.org provided by the Democratic Party of Oregon.
