Most voters become registered through this process
Secretary of State Lavonne Griffin-Valade has announced that
minor revisions have been made to the Oregon Motor Voter manual -- for the most part to account for the new software.
The amendment to
OAR 165-005-0170 adopts current revisions to the Oregon Motor Voter Registration Manual. Revisions include changing how information is presented, clarifying the Secretary of State Elections Division information processing, and technical fixes necessary to conform to the new ORVIS (formerly Oregon Votes) centralized voter registration system.
The
Motor Voter Manual is a key part of Oregon's elections process because most voters become registered and have their information updated through this process.
