OREGON – (Release from the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office) The Oregon Elections Division announced recently that Oregon has hit a new milestone of 3 million registered voters.
“Oregonians are voters,” Secretary of State Shemia Fagan said. “Over the last 40 years, Republicans and Democrats in Oregon have worked together to build a system that is consistently ranked as the most accessible voting system in America. Just like our beautiful coast and mountain ranges, strong Tribal partnerships, or events like the Pendleton Round-up, voting is something Oregonians take pride in.”
Oregon voter registration has been steadily climbing since the state passed an automatic voter registration law, known as the Oregon Motor Vote Law, in 2016. Vote by mail, automatic voter registration and other Oregon-led innovations are why the state was recently ranked as the most accessible state for voting in the country.
