Nonpartisan Voters' Guide—May 20, 2008, Primary Election

 

 

LWV logoThe League of Women Voters of Oregon Education Fund publishes the Voters’ Guide. We work hard to make this guide as informative, impartial, and nonpartisan as possible. We do not support or oppose any political party or candidate. No candidates or interest groups pay us to publish information about them or their views

About this Guide

Audio, Braille, Large-print, Easy-to-Read, Internet and Spanish Versions of this Guide

To make election information more available to voters who cannot use the printed version of our regular Nonpartisan Voters’ Guide, HAVA, the Help America Vote Act, helped pay for the development and expanded distribution of voting guides in Large-print, Braille, Easy-to-Read, audio, Internet and Spanish versions.

You may get free copies of the Easy-to-Read Voting Guide in English or Spanish by calling Oregon Literacy at 503-244-3898. You can also download copies from www.oregonliteracy.org, www.oradvocacy.org or www.lwvor.org. The web version is at www.lwvor.org. To get an audio tape or large-print copies of either this Voters’ Guide or the easy-to-read guide, call talking Book and Braille services at 1-800-452-0292. Printed copies may also be ordered by calling 1-866-673-8683 (1- 866-ore-votes). You also can get printed copies of these voting guides at any library or elections office.
