Absentee ballots for May 20 available
From our weekly issue dated April 16, 2008
Absentee ballots are now available for voters who will be away when ballots are mailed May 2 for the May 20 primary election, said Georgette Brown Josephine County clerk and recorder.
The last day to register to vote or change political parties for this election is April 29. Oregon has a closed primary. Therefore Democrats will receive a ballot with Democrat candidates; Republicans will be sent a Republican ballot; and both also will have the non-partisan positions and measures.
Nonaffiliated and other party voters will receive a ballot to vote for nonpartisan candidates and measures.

“Because of recent events, the Secretary of State’s Office has issued a very stringent directive for verifying signatures,” Brown said. “A signature on a petition or ballot return envelope shall only be compared with the signature on a voter’s most current voter registration card in determining ‘match-no match.’
“Voters who have changed signatures since their last registration card are urged to re-register with a current signature in order to be sure their ballot is counted,” Brown said.
