§ ORS § 251.355Filing arguments for or against measure

(1) Not later than the date specified by the Secretary of State by rule, in a
county that prepares a county voters’ pamphlet, any person may file with the
county clerk a typewritten argument supporting or opposing any measure to be
submitted to the voters on the ballot. The county clerk may not accept any
arguments that are not accompanied by the fee established by the Secretary of
State or a petition in a form prescribed by the Secretary of State. A petition
shall contain the signatures of at least four percent of the electors in the
county eligible to vote on the measure to which the argument refers, or the
signatures of 1,000 electors in the county eligible to vote on the measure to
which the argument refers, whichever is less. The number of registered electors
in an electoral district, for the purposes of this section, shall be calculated
on January 1 of each year. Each person signing the petition shall subscribe to
a statement that the person has read and agrees with the argument. The
signatures on each petition shall be certified by the county clerk in the
manner provided in ORS 249.008. The petition shall be filed with the county
clerk.

(2) The county
clerk shall include in the county voters’ pamphlet, on the page of the printed
argument, the name of the person who submitted the argument, the name of the
organization the person represents, if any, whether the argument supports or
opposes the measure and a disclaimer that the argument does not constitute an
endorsement by the county and that the county does not warrant the accuracy or
truth of any statement made in the argument. [1989 c.1031 §7; 2009 c.11 §23]
