2020 Primary
The LPO conducts its own primary election at its own expense, independently of the state of Oregon’s primary. Our primary election determines what candidates we will nominate to the general election.
The primary ballot mailing went to the printers on June 8 and are likely to start arriving in mailboxes on June 19. Ballots must be received by us by July 6 to be counted.
Please read the online version of the 2020 Primary Election Voters’ Guide for information about the candidates!
Use this link to read the complete rules for our primary election. Note that non-LPO members seeking our “fusion” nomination are at a strong disadvantage, per our bylaws provision (Article 8, Sec. 2, subsection B) covering non-member candidates.
