www.deschutes.org/clerkSTATE OF OREGON ELECTION DATES
The Oregon State Legislature determines when elections will be
held for state, county, city and special district elections, including
school districts. An election for a local option tax may be held
on any election date. Elections approving a tax levy require a
“double majority” with at least a 50% voter turnout and 50% voter
approval in the district. The “double majority” is not required at a
May or November election.
There are 4 regularly scheduled elections at the local level each
year. A jurisdiction may or may not need to hold an election
on those dates. There are two regularly scheduled statewide
elections in every even-numbered year – the Primary Election
in May and the General Election in November.
MARCH Second Tuesday each year.
MAY Third Tuesday each year:
• Primary Election in even-numbered year. Major
political party candidates are nominated for
offices to be filled at the general election.
• Election of candidates for school boards and
special districts each odd-numbered year.
SEPT Third Tuesday each year:
NOV First Tuesday after the first Monday in November:
• General Election held in even-numbered year.
Election of partisan and non-partisan state,
county and city officials.
Provisions are made in the Oregon statutes for special
emergency election dates other than those specified. The
legislature may choose to call a special election at any time.

oregonvotes.gov.
• You are required to furnish your full name, date of birth,

26COMMUNICATING WITH PUBLIC OFFICIALS
A brief statement of what you think, and why, will most clearly
convey your views on any issue. Possibilities for presenting your
ideas:
IN PERSON
You can arrange an appointment during regular hours. Meetings
of governmental bodies are open to the public, including all
work sessions, but excluding executive sessions. There are
opportunities to speak at almost all meetings.
BY PHONE, e-mail OR FAX
Brief calls at reasonable hours will be most effective. Message
phones are often available for voicing your opinion. Officials
have e-mail or fax lines available, although e-mails are often
overwhelming. A hard-copy letter or FAX is recommended, unless
time is of the essence.
BY LETTER
An effective letter will:
• Refer to only one issue per letter;
• Identify a bill by proper name, content, or number;
• State your personal position and give reasons for it;
• Arrive when the issue is current.
Accessing legislation is most effectively accomplished by
logging on to Websites through the internet. In addition to your
own personal computer, the internet is available through local
community colleges, libraries and cyber cafes.
