It’s already been an exciting year. In the spring, Oregon saw a huge surge in voter registration and we may well set new records in November for turnout. Registering, remember, is only half the process and doesn’t mean a lot unless you actually vote. -
Voters' Pamphlet
Voters’ Pamphlet Oregon Primary Election May 20, 2014 Kate Brown Oregon Secretary of State This voters’ pamphlet is provided for assistance in casting your vote by mail ballot. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION JIM WILLIAMS KATE BROWN DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 Robert tayLOR SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voters, Welcome to the 2014 Primary Election Voters’ Pamphlet. Enclosed you will find valuable information about candidates and issues. If you are not yet registered to vote, you have until April 29, 2014, to do so. Here in Oregon we have made it easy for eligible Oregonians to register, update your registration and track your ballot. Simply visit www.oregonvotes.gov. As your Secretary of State, my goal is to encourage all eligible Oregonians to exercise their most fundamental right to vote. If you’re questioning whether your one vote really makes a difference, then consider this: I won my first race for the state House by just seven votes. Every vote counts! Your vote is your voice, and every voice matters! As Oregon’s top elections official, sometimes I have to tell hard truths. And the truth is that four years ago in the last gubernatorial primary election total voter participation was only 41.62%. In other words, less than half of registered voters actually cast a vote during the 2010 primary. We can do better than that! Indeed, in 2010, there were some bright spots. Lake County had a voter participation rate of 63.90% - more than 20 percentage points higher than the statewide average! Close on Lake County’s heels were Harney County at 62.29% and Gilliam County at 60.05%. -

Voters' Pamphlet
Voters’ Pamphlet Oregon General Election November 2, 2010 Kate Brown Oregon Secretary of State This Voters’ Pamphlet is provided for assistance in casting your vote by mail ballot. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION STEPHEN N. TROUT KATE BROWN DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 BARRY PACK SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voters: As your Chief Elections Officer, my goal is to engage more Oregonians in the political process, provide more information to Oregonians and remove barriers to voting. Because of this, you will see a few changes in the Voters’ Pamphlet, receive a ballot that looks a little different and find answers to your questions, quite literally at your fingertips, by pointing your browser to www.oregonvotes.org. First, the ballot. The Oregon Legislature passed legislation in 2009 implementing a new process for political parties to nominate candidates. It’s called cross nomination and it allows candidates to receive the nomination of up to three parties and to have those nominations printed on the ballot. The purpose behind this change is to engage more voters on all ends of the political spectrum. Due to space restrictions on the ballot and the fact that candidates can receive up to three party nomi- nations, the party names will be abbreviated on the ballot. Every ballot will have a key to the party abbreviations. The parties are abbreviated as follows: Constitution Party – CON Democratic Party of Oregon – DEM Independent Party of Oregon – IND Libertarian Party of Oregon – LBT Nonaffiliated – NAV Pacific Green Party – PGP Oregon Progressive Party – PRO The Oregon Republican Party – REP Working Families Party of Oregon – WFP Second, the Voters’ Pamphlet. -
