The working or the voting 8-).
I believe that in Oregon the out of district vote is treated like an
absentee vote. It is put aside, then residency is verified, then the vote
is counted. Of course you can't vote on local issues if you do this.
But I am not 100% positive on this.

Looks like it's possible in Oregon. There doesn't seem to be any rule
for verifying the reason for the absence from your county of residence. In
practice this looks like it it treated like a normal absentee ballot for
which no justification is required either.
