2007 Oregon elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The November 6th, 2007, special election was an off-year election in which no members of the Congress, statewide offices, or members of the Oregon Legislative Assembly were scheduled for election. However, two statewide measures were referred by the legislature to the ballot. They touched on important enough issues that they attracted one hundred seventy-five arguments in total, both in favor of and against them, in the voter's pamphlet.

October 16 was the last day someone could have registered to vote in this election if this was their first time voting in Oregon. Because of a new centralized voter registration database, a voter previously registered could still move within the state, and could change their address until Election Day at 8 pm and still vote.[1]
