IPO May Endorse Candidate for Secretary of State in Primary

The Independent Party does not yet have a candidate for Secretary of State of Oregon. We have until August 26, 2008, to nominate a candidate.

The IPO Caucus has decided to conduct a process to endorse a candidate in the primary contest for Secretary of State. This office is central to the key platform items of the Independent Party, including campaign finance reform, voting integrity, and protecting the initiative and referendum processes.

In all elections, members of the Independent Party of Oregon (IPO) get the same ballot as every other voter in Oregon, with this exception:

In the May primary election in even-numbered years, all registered voters receive the regular nonpartisan ballot, which contains all ballot measures and all contests for public office that are not run on a "partisan" (by party) basis.
