Oregon Ballot Measures

Oregon ballot measures are proposals submitted by citizens or the state government that voters can directly approve or reject during elections. These measures can create new laws, change existing laws, or amend the state constitution. To become law, most measures need a majority vote. They cover a wide range of issues such as taxes, education, healthcare, and environmental policies. Voters review the details of each measure, consider their impact, and then decide whether to support or oppose them, making it a direct way for citizens to influence state policy.
