Paper registration forms must be received by your county elections office by 5 p.m. You can register online until 11:59 p.m. by visiting www.oregonvotes.gov.

We use tablets and computers to make it easier for voters with disabilities to cast ballots. And we deliver a ballot in the mail to every registered Oregonian. It’s your decision whether to mail in the ballot or drop it off in person. As your Secretary of State, I encourage all eligible Oregonians to exercise their fundamental right to vote. I also urge Oregonians to inform themselves about ballot measures and candidates. Read arguments on both sides of the measures.

  • Advisory Opinion 2004-34
    FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION Washington, DC 20463 December 2, 2004 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED ADVISORY OPINION 2004-40 Joseph J. Miller, Jr. Treasurer Libertarian Party of Maryland 211 Coronet Drive Linthicum Heights, MD 21090-1706 Dear Mr. Miller, We are responding to your inquiry regarding the status of the Libertarian Party of Maryland (the “Party”) as a State party committee of a political party under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (the “Act”), and Commission regulations. In this opinion, the Commission concludes that the Party qualifies as a State party committee because (1) the Party is a political party that is affiliated with the national committee of the Libertarian Party, (2) is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Libertarian Party at the State level, and (3) is part of the official Libertarian Party structure. Background The facts of this request are presented in letters dated September 27 and October 18 and 22, 2004. The Party’s constitution (the “Party Constitution”) details various aspects of the organization of the Party. It illustrates how the Party, through the State Central Committee and the Local Central Committee in each county, engages in various activities in Maryland, including: creating a yearly plan of action to promote the Party in Maryland, communicating regularly with its members, nominating candidates for State and local AO 2004-40 Page 2 public offices, supporting the election of the Party’s candidates, and engaging in educational social, and fundraising activities to advance the Party’s goals.1 The Party has provided printouts from the Maryland State Board of Elections website that show that the Party placed candidates for Federal office on the Maryland ballot for the 1988, 1992, 1996, and 2000 Presidential elections.
