OREGON LAWS & RANKINGS
Oregon ranks #48 in the country for Election Security based on our current laws.
ORS 247.012: allows county clerks to register people with only their names, residence addresses, dates of birth, and signatures – without needing to provide photo ID, social security numbers, or driver’s license/permit/ID cards and without providing proof that they live where they state they live. 4(a) “…if a registration card is legible, accurate and contains, at a minimum, the registrant’s name, residence address, date of birth and signature, the county clerk shall register the person.”
ORS 247.038: allows people to register to vote without a valid physical or mailing address.
ORS 247.275: allows inactive voters to remain on voter rolls indefinitely.
ORS 254.445: allows Ballot Assistance. Per section (3), “In preparing the ballot, an elector may use or copy a sample ballot, which may be marked in advance to assist the elector in marking the official ballot.”
ORS 254.470: allows mail-in ballots to be received and counted up to seven days after Election Day, even if there is no postal indicator present.
ORS 254.478: allows county clerks to start processing incoming ballots – including separating ballots from envelopes and scanning ballots – upon receipt (without any oversight from election observers).
