Oregon voters to decide statewide primaries May 19

Voters in Oregon will decide primary elections next Tuesday—May 19. Because Oregon exclusively uses a vote-by-mail system, no election changes have been made in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Voters will select partisan nominees for one U.S. Senate seat, five U.S. House districts, three state executive offices (attorney general, secretary of state, and treasurer), 16 of 30 state Senate seats, and all 60 state House districts.
