Why Should Oregonians Support Ballot Measure 56? Because Voting Matters.
Measure 56 restores the basic democratic principle of one person, one vote. Nonvoters shouldn’t be allowed to cancel out your vote.
Measure 56 ensures that elections are decided by the majority of people who vote.
Under the current system, many important local elections are decided not by the people who vote, but by those who don’t even bother. Oregon’s outdated “double majority” rule means that people who don’t vote can override the wishes of the voters.
Measure 56 empowers local communities to act on good ideas instead of being penalized by the apathy of non‐voters.
Measure 56 will restore fairness to local elections by ensuring that elections are determined by those who vote – not by those who don’t.
It’s simple and it’s fair.
