OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION BILL BRADBURY JOHN LINDBACK DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 JEAN STRAIGHT SALEM, OREGON 97310 DEPUTY SECRETARY OF STATE (503) 986-1518 My Fellow Oregonians: Once again, it’s time for Oregon voters to make good on the bargain we make for living in a free country. It’s time to vote. In these pages, you will see the candidates running for office this year. These are the words they’ve chosen to represent themselves to you. Read them carefully and evaluate what they have to say because the decisions made by our elected officials make a difference in our lives. Voting is only one of the duties we share in preserving our blessings of liberty. We serve on juries. We pay our taxes. We serve in the armed forces. We don’t litter. And we vote. Voting is no mere footnote to democracy. It’s what separates us from tyrants, a practice we’ve nurtured and encouraged for more than two centuries and preserve today as a bulwark in keeping our country safe and free. 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.

  • The Oregonian Multnomah GOP Challenges Legality of Eudaly's Voting Drive
    The Oregonian Multnomah GOP Challenges Legality of Eudaly's Voting Drive By Gordon Friedman October 29, 2018 The Multnomah County Republican Party said Monday it is seeking an investigation of Commissioner Chloe Eudaly's plan to allow city workers to conduct a voter turnout drive while on the job. Eudaly last week invited city employees to join a door-knocking effort in city precincts where fewer than half of voters have cast ballots in recent elections. "To protect the integrity of our democracy, we must recognize this plain fact and commit ourselves to action," Eudaly said in her email invite, adding that the canvassing event is "voluntary, non-partisan and content-neutral." The low-voting precincts are predominately in East Portland, according to data provided by Eudaly's office. Those areas all went for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, but are much more favorable to Republican candidates than the deep-blue areas of close-in Portland neighborhoods. In one precinct targeted for outreach by Eudaly's data -- encompassing Wilkes, the city's most northeast neighborhood -- voters chose Clinton over Trump 51 percent to 37 percent. By Portland standards, that's a good showing for Trump. In the secretary of state race that year, voters in that precinct favored Democrat Brad Avakian over Republican Dennis Richardson 45 percent to 42 percent. James Buchal, an attorney and the local GOP chairman, filed a complaint accusing Eudaly of breaking a law barring public officials from spending money outside legal boundaries. In his complaint submitted to the Tax Supervising & Conservation Commission, a panel that monitors compliance with local budget law, Buchal said he and nine other city taxpayers believe Eudaly's canvassing plan "constitutes malfeasance in office and willful or wanton neglect of duty." Portland's government approves a budget each year and funds have not been set aside for Eudaly's canvassing event, putting it outside lawful spending, Buchal said.
