(1) Subject to ORS 248.015 (4), a

filing with the county elections official a declaration of write-in candidacy.
The declaration shall be made on a form prescribed by the Secretary of State by
rule and must be filed no later than 8 p.m. on the date of the election. The
form prescribed by the secretary must require that the person:

(a) States that
the person will serve as a precinct committeeperson if elected;

(b) Requests that
the county elections official count any write-in votes received by the write-in
candidate; and

(c) Attests that
the person is legally qualified to serve as a precinct committeeperson.

(2) Upon receipt
of the form filed under subsection (1) of this section, the county elections
official shall determine whether the person meets the qualifications to serve
as a precinct committeeperson. If the county elections official determines that
the person meets the qualifications, the county elections official shall record
the write-in votes received by the person during that election.

(3) If no person
qualifies as a candidate or write-in candidate for a position of precinct
committeeperson, that position shall be vacant. [2019 c.675 §16]
