Voting is the most powerful way to have your voice heard. It is the core of our democracy. It is your chance to stand up for what matters to you most and impact the issues affecting you, your community, and the future.  The League offers many tools to help you make informed choices.  The information presented on this page is part of the League's Voter Service work which is non-partisan (not endorsing any position, candidate or political party).  We provide resources and represent all sides equally.

Oregon Voters' Pamphlet vs LWV Voters' Guide - what's the difference?

The Oregon Voter's Pamphlet, the gray paper booklet sent by the Elections Division of the Secretary of State to all voters each election cycle, contains election information along with paid statements in support or opposition to candidates and ballot measures. The LWV Voters' Guide is a separate publicationdistributed by local Leagues to libraries and other public buildings, containing nonpartisan information for the sole purpose of voter education.  The League does not accept money from candidates or groups to produce the Voters' Guides.  The guide includes well researched, balanced reviews of ballots measures, basic candidate information, and candidates' answers to three questions related to timely issues. The answers are unedited, printed exactly as they are submitted by the candidates.
