On this day, May 20, 1976, Trojan Nuclear Power Plant began operating, generating 1,130 megawatts, and operating until 1993, well before the end of its useful life. The plant was plagued with mechanical problems and, as time went on, public opinion against the plant began to pile up. Though two ballot measures were defeated in 1992 at great expense to PGE, the majority owener of the plant, PGE mothballed the plant a year later.

Lane County Elections Launches New Ballot Return Dashboard
Transparency is very important

The Lane County, Oregon Elections Office is offering voters a way to track ballot returns in Lane County. The new dashboard allows viewers to see how and where ballots were returned, how many have been returned, and how many ballots have signature challenges.

Lane County says that the results will be published every few days, after ballots have gone through the full signature verification process.

“We are very excited to introduce this new tracking tool to Lane County voters. It is the perfect complement to our 24/7 livestream, 8-Step Ballot Processing Guide, and tentative ballot processing schedule” said Lane County Clerk Dena Dawson. “Transparency is important to us and the ability for voters to see how elections are conducted, including ballot return data, will help build trust and get more people engaged in the democratic process.”

The dashboard can be viewed by visiting their website and selecting the “Ballot Returns Dashboard” button. The button appears on the right side of the screen on computers; those using mobile devices will need to scroll down.

Voters with questions can email the elections office, or call 541-682-4234.

The Lane County Elections Office, located at 275 W. 10th Avenue in Eugene, is responsible for conducting elections in Lane County. The elections office manages voter registration, the processing of mail ballots, recruitment and training of election workers, and certification of elections.
