Oregon Citizens' Initiative Review

The Oregon Citizens' Initiative Review (CIR) is a process designed to provide voters with reliable information about proposed ballot measures. It brings together a diverse panel of ordinary citizens to discuss and analyze initiatives, allowing them to hear from experts, advocates, and opponents. After a structured deliberation, the panel creates a summary of their findings and opinions, which is published and shared with the public. This aims to help voters make informed decisions by offering insights that go beyond typical campaign messaging, promoting transparency and citizen engagement in the democratic process.
