Bill > HB3474

This bill requires the Oregon Secretary of State to conduct a comprehensive study of changes made by the federal government to the United States Postal Service (USPS), with a specific focus on analyzing how these changes might impact Oregon's vote-by-mail system. The Secretary of State must submit a report to the legislative committees responsible for elections by September 15, 2026, which may also include recommendations for potential legislative actions. The study and reporting requirements are temporary, with the legislation automatically repealing itself on January 2, 2027. The bill aims to proactively assess and prepare for potential disruptions to Oregon's unique vote-by-mail system by examining any modifications to the USPS that could affect mail-in voting processes, ensuring the state can maintain the integrity and accessibility of its electoral methods.
