Bill overview
This bill changes how primary elections are conducted in Oregon. It ensures that any registered elector can vote in a primary, requires all candidates from any political party to appear on a single ballot, and mandates that the two top vote-getters from a primary move on to the general election. The bill also allows political parties to decline participation in primaries and nominate candidates through their own processes, provides a process for filling vacancies in offices after a primary, and outlines rules for ballot listing and party endorsement. Finally, it repeals outdated provisions related to precinct committee structures.
