Wasco County clerk briefs Mosier council on Oregon's 'Motor Voter' changes
Summary
Wasco County Clerk Lisa Gambee told the Mosier City Council that Oregon now registers voters automatically through DMV interactions and that the state expects about 660,000 new registrants by November; she directed residents to ORvotes.org and noted local seats on this year's ballot.
Wasco County Clerk Lisa Gambee introduced herself to the Mosier City Council and explained changes under Oregon's Motor Voter law. "Voters are now registered automatically through the DMV process," Gambee said, and the state expects about 660,000 newly registered voters by November.
Gambee described the process by which voters receive a mailed card allowing them to opt out or select a political party, and she noted that nonaffiliated voters will be allowed to vote in the Independent Party. She directed residents to ORvotes.org to confirm their registration and party affiliation and reminded the council that two councilor seats and the mayoralty are scheduled for re-election this year in Mosier.
The presentation was recorded in the minutes as an informational briefing; no action or vote followed the clerk's remarks.
