Accessible Information in One Place Disability Rights Oregon produces the Easy Voting Guide for every General Election to share information on national and statewide candidates, so our community can actively participate in choosing leaders who drive policies and resources people with disabilities need. Disability Rights Oregon is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse any candidates. The guide is written and designed to be accessible and made available free-of-charge to everyone in Oregon. For our Deaf and hard of hearing community members, we also produce ASL videos of the same information. |

More Than Candidates Based on the Voter’s Pamphlet, the Easy Voting Guide also includes clear explanations of statewide ballot measures being voted on in Oregon, as well as easy-to-follow steps for how to vote and receive support if you need it, how to get reasonable accommodations, and more. This year, you can choose to support or oppose five different measures: - Measure 115: Oregon legislators can fire state officials.
- Measure 116: Independent group decides how much to pay some state workers.
- Measure 117: Allows people in Oregon to vote for more than one candidate.
- Measure 118: Raises business taxes and sends money to people in Oregon.
- Measure 119: Marijuana workers can join unions.
