Bill > SJR5

This resolution proposes an amendment to the Oregon Constitution that would modify voter registration requirements. Specifically, it changes the existing rule that requires voters to register at least 20 calendar days before an election to instead allow voter registration up to and including the day of the election. The proposed amendment maintains the existing voter qualifications, which include being a U.S. citizen, being 18 years or older, and having resided in Oregon for at least six months (with some exceptions for presidential elections). The resolution will be referred to Oregon voters for approval or rejection at the next regular general election, which is a standard procedure for constitutional amendments in the state. By allowing same-day voter registration, the proposed change aims to make voting more accessible by removing the current waiting period and potential barriers to electoral participation.
