Relating to the date of elections during presidential election years.
SB 392 shifts the date of Oregon's primary election in presidential election years from the third Tuesday in May to the first Tuesday in March. This change directly affects voters and election officials by altering when state and local candidates for offices elected in November are nominated. The bill amends multiple election statutes (including ORS 254.056) to update the primary election date, while leaving the general election (held in November) unchanged. These adjustments apply specifically to presidential election years, ensuring primary elections align with national election cycles.
