Bill overview
This bill proposes an amendment to the Oregon Constitution that would change how primary elections are held. Specifically, it would require that all candidates, regardless of their political party affiliation, be listed on a single ballot during primary elections for state offices like Senator, Representative, Governor, and Treasurer. It also protects the right of unaffiliated voters to participate in primaries and allows political parties to decline participation in primaries, subject to certain requirements. The amendment will be put to a vote of the people at the next general election.
