Ballot Measure Endorsement Process

At our August 23rd business meeting, which begins at 1:15 PM, the SCC will consider endorsement recommendations on ballot measures that have qualified for the ballot.

SCC Endorsement Vote

Under the Party rules, the SCC may recommend a position on an upcoming initiative or referendum by a two-thirds majority of SCC delegates, alternates, and associate members voting.

The Platform and Resolutions Committee will make a recommendation on each qualified measure. The recommendation will be one of the following:

• Vote YES!
• Vote NO!
• Take No Position

At the 3rd Quarter SCC Meeting, the “Vote Yes” and “Vote No” campaigns for each qualified initiative will be invited to present to the SCC. Members attending in person will have the opportunity to participate in debate and discussion on each item.

Delegates who cannot attend in person will need to request virtual credentials to participate fully as delegates in this meeting. As always, this will enable you to vote on all business before the body, but you will not be able to participate in debate or discussion remotely.

Associate Members who cannot attend in person may watch the livestream of the presentations and discussion, but will not be able to participate in debate or discussion remotely. We ask that you please still RSVP here to let us know you plan to attend either virtually or in person.

Once debate and discussion has concluded on each item, all delegates, alternates, and associate members will receive a virtual ballot and will have at least 15 minutes to complete it.

For those attending in person, paper ballots will also be available for anyone who prefers to vote that way.

After voting closes, we will cross-reference virtual and paper ballots to ensure no duplicate votes were cast, then tabulate the results. Once balloting has concluded, we will report out the Party’s endorsements.

Associate Members

For the purposes of this process, associate members include:

• Democratic members of the Oregon Legislative Assembly
• Members of the SCC Executive Committee
• Alternates to the SCC
• Members of SCC Standing Committees

If you represent the pro or con campaign for any measure which has qualified for the ballot, please contact [email protected] for more information.
