has been obtained. The form sent to the members shall be sent by certified
mail, addressee only, return receipt requested.
(4) The return of the signed form by a

State or a person is declared disqualified by the house to which the person was
elected, the vacancy shall be filled by appointment if:
(a) The vacancy occurs during any session
of the Legislative Assembly;
(b) The vacancy occurs in the office of a
state Representative before the 61st day before the general election to be held
during that term of office;
(c) The vacancy occurs in the office of a

Assembly will be convened before a successor to the office can be elected and
qualified.
(2) The person appointed under the
provisions of subsection (1) of this section shall be a citizen qualified to
hold the office, an elector of the affected legislative district and a member
of the same political party for at least 180 days before the date on which the
vacancy occurred. The political affiliation of a person appointed under
subsection (1) of this section shall be determined under ORS 236.100. The
appointment shall be made by the county courts or boards of county
commissioners of the affected counties pursuant to ORS 171.060 to 171.064. When
the provisions of ORS 171.060 (1) are applicable, the appointment shall be made
from a list of not fewer than three nor more than five nominees who have signed
written statements indicating that they are willing to serve furnished by the
Secretary of State. If fewer than three names of nominees are furnished, a list
shall not be considered to have been submitted and the county courts or boards
of county commissioners shall fill the vacancy. The vacancy must be filled by
appointment within 30 days after its occurrence or not later than the time set
for the convening of the special session described in subsection (1)(e) of this
section when that is the basis for filling the vacancy.
(3) If the appointing authority required
by this section to fill the vacancy does not do so within the time allowed, the
Governor shall fill the vacancy by appointment within 10 days.
(4) Notwithstanding any appointment under
the provisions of subsection (1)(c) of this section, when a vacancy occurs in
the office of a state Senator before the 61st day before the first general
election to be held during that term of office, the remaining two years of the
term of office shall be filled by the electors of the affected legislative
district at the first general election.
(5) Candidates for the remaining two years
of the term of office of a state Senator under subsection (4) of this section
shall be nominated as provided in ORS chapter 249 except as follows:

election; and
(b) The Secretary of State shall accept
certificates of nomination and notifications of nominees selected by party rule
and filed with the secretary pursuant to a schedule for filing set by the
Secretary of State but in any case not later than the 62nd day before the first
general election.
(6) The remaining two years of the term of
office of a state Senator under subsection (4) of this section will commence on
the second Monday in January following the general election. Any appointment
under the provisions of subsection (1)(c) of this section shall expire when a
successor to the office is elected and qualified. [1981 c.517 §3 (enacted in
lieu of 171.050); 1985 c.771 §1; 1987 c.380 §1; 1989 c.207 §1; 1995 c.607 §59]
171.060
Procedure for filling vacancy by appointment. (1) When any vacancy as is mentioned in ORS 171.051 exists in the
office of Senator or Representative affiliated with a major political party and
that vacancy is to be filled by an appointing authority as provided in ORS
171.051, the Secretary of State forthwith shall notify the person designated by
the party to receive such notice. The party shall pursuant to party rule
nominate not fewer than three nor more than five qualified persons to fill the
vacancy. The nominating procedure shall reflect the principle of one-person,
one-vote to accord voting weight in proportion to the number of party members
represented. At the request of a party making a nomination, the county clerks
of each county constituting the district in which the vacancy exists shall
assist the party in determining the number of electors registered as members of
the party in the district. A person shall not be nominated to fill the vacancy
unless the person signs a written statement indicating that the person is
willing to serve in the office of Senator or Representative. As soon as the
nominees have been appointed, but no later than 20 days after the vacancy occurs,
the party shall notify the Secretary of State of the persons nominated. The
notification shall be accompanied by the signed written statement of each
nominee indicating that the nominee is willing to serve in the office of
Senator or Representative. The Secretary of State shall notify the county
courts or boards of county commissioners of the counties constituting the
district in which the vacancy exists of the nominees and of the number of votes
apportioned to each member of the county courts or boards of county
commissioners under ORS 171.062 and 171.064. The Secretary of State shall set a
time for the meeting of the county courts or boards of county commissioners in
order to fill the vacancy and by rule shall establish procedures for the
conduct of the meeting. If the district is composed of more than one county,
the Secretary of State shall name a temporary chairperson and designate a
meeting place within the district where the county courts or boards of county
commissioners shall convene for the purpose of filling the vacancy, pursuant to
ORS 171.051 (2).
(2) When any vacancy as is mentioned in
ORS 171.051 exists in the office of Senator or Representative not affiliated
with a major political party and that vacancy is to be filled by an appointing
authority as provided in ORS 171.051, the Secretary of State forthwith shall
notify the county courts or boards of county commissioners of the counties
constituting the district in which the vacancy occurs of the vacancy and of the
number of votes apportioned to each member of the county courts or boards of
county commissioners under ORS 171.062 and 171.064. The Secretary of State
shall set a time for a meeting of the county courts or boards of county
commissioners and by rule shall establish procedures for the conduct of the
meeting. If the district is composed of more than one county, the Secretary of
State shall name a temporary chairperson and designate a meeting place within
the district where the county courts or boards of county commissioners shall
convene for the purpose of appointing a person to fill the vacancy.
(3) A written statement signed by a
majority of those qualified to vote upon the filling of any vacancy naming the
person selected to fill the vacancy and directed to the Secretary of State is conclusive
evidence of the filling of the vacancy by the appointing authority named
therein. [Amended by 1955 c.211 §6; 1973 c.773 §2; 1975 c.779 §2; 1977 c.302 §1;
1985 c.771 §2; 1987 c.380 §2; 1989 c.207 §2; 1993 c.797 §17]
171.062
Filling vacancies in multicounty legislative districts. (1) When a legislative district in which a
vacancy occurs encompasses two or more counties, each county shall be entitled
to one vote for each 1,000 of its electors or major fraction thereof residing
within the legislative district at the time the vacancy occurs. However, any
county having electors in the district shall be entitled to at least one vote.
(2) A major fraction of electors shall be
a number greater than 500 but less than 1,000. [Formerly 248.175]
171.064
Apportioning votes for filling vacancies in multicounty legislative districts. The number of votes apportioned to each
county commissioner in filling a legislative vacancy shall be equal to the
total number allotted to the respective county of the county commissioner in
the manner set forth in ORS 171.062 divided by the total number of county
commissioners of the respective county. [Formerly 248.180]
171.068
Procedure when vacancy filled after reapportionment. (1) For purposes of ORS 171.060, 171.062 and
171.064, the county court or the board of county commissioners which shall fill
the vacancy in the Legislative Assembly in a district created by
reapportionment shall be the county court or board of county commissioners of
each county any part of which is in the district that is created by the
reapportionment and includes the residence from which the former Senator or
Representative was elected.
(2) Each person nominated by a major
political party to fill a vacancy in the Legislative Assembly occurring as described
by ORS 171.051 in a district created by reapportionment must be registered to
vote in the district from which the former Senator or Representative was
elected and must have been a member of the same major political party at least
180 days before the date the vacancy to be filled occurred.
(3) This section shall apply only to a
vacancy in the Legislative Assembly occurring after the primary election next
following reapportionment and before a person has been elected and qualified to
fill the vacancy. [1983 c.25 §1; 1985 c.771 §3; 1987 c.267 §62; 1987 c.380 §3;

(Employment
Rights)
171.120
Purpose of ORS 171.120 to 171.125; unlawful employment practices. (1) It is the purpose and intent of the
Legislative Assembly in enacting this section and ORS 171.122 and 171.125 that,
subject to the conditions set forth in these sections, any member of the
Legislative Assembly whose employment is interrupted because of attendance at
regular or special sessions of the Legislative Assembly or the performance of
official duties as a member of the Legislative Assembly shall be restored to
the employment status the member would have enjoyed if the member had continued
in employment during any such attendance or performance of duties.
(2) As a part of the public policy to
encourage public service, an employer may not discharge or threaten to
discharge, intimidate or coerce any employee by reason of the employee’s
service or scheduled service as a member or prospective member of the
Legislative Assembly.
(3) The member or prospective member may
not be subject to discipline or harassment or placed at any employment
disadvantage as a consequence of the leave of absence. It is an unlawful
employment practice under ORS chapter 659A for a member or prospective member
to be subject to discipline or harassment or placed at any employment
disadvantage as a consequence of any leave of absence related to regular or
special session attendance or duties. A member or prospective member may file a
complaint with the Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries under ORS
659A.820, or a civil action under ORS 659A.885, alleging violation of this
subsection. [1957 c.549 §1; 1989 c.1066 §2; 1991 c.454 §1; 2001 c.621 §69; 2005

(1) Any member or prospective member of the Legislative Assembly who leaves
regular employment in order to attend upon any regular or special session of
the Legislative Assembly or to perform official duties as a member or
prospective member of the Legislative Assembly for which the member or
prospective member may receive a per diem under ORS 171.072 or may receive
reimbursements for out-of-state travel, shall be granted a leave of absence
from such regular employment position for such period of time as is reasonably
necessary to permit such attendance or performance of duties.
(2) A member or prospective member of the
Legislative Assembly shall give notice to the employer when the leave of
absence described in subsection (1) of this section is anticipated or is to be
taken:
(a) At least 30 days before a regular
session; and
(b) As soon as it is reasonably apparent
that a special or emergency session is to be called.
(3) The regular employment position of a
member or prospective member on leave of absence under this section shall only
be deemed vacant for the period of such leave of absence, and the member or
prospective member shall not be subject to removal or discharge from such
position as a consequence of such leave of absence.
(4) Upon the termination of the leave of
absence of the member or prospective member under this section, a member or
prospective member shall be restored to the regular employment position the
member or prospective member held immediately prior to the first day of the
leave of absence if such position still exists, or, if such position does not still
exist, to as similar a position as possible, without loss of seniority, the
right to participate in insurance or any other employment benefits, other than
wages for services not rendered during the leave of absence, as a consequence
of the leave of absence of the member or prospective member. Such seniority,
right to participate in insurance or other employment benefits shall continue
to accumulate during the leave of absence as though the member or prospective
member had continued in employment continuously in the regular employment
position the member or prospective member held immediately prior to the first
day of the leave of absence of the member or prospective member.
(5) This section is not applicable if:
(a) The member or prospective member was
employed by the employer for a period of less than 90 days immediately prior to
the first day of the leave of absence.
(b) The circumstances of the employer have
so changed during the leave of absence of the member or prospective member as
to make restoration of the member or prospective member to employment
impossible or unreasonable.
(c) The member or prospective member fails
to apply for restoration to employment within:
(A) Fifteen days after adjournment sine
die of the Legislative Assembly following a regular session; or
(B) If the leave was for a lesser period
for another legislative assignment, five days after the assignment is
completed.
(d) The regular employment position of the
member or prospective member immediately prior to the first day of the leave of
absence or the character, terms, conditions or activities of such position are
incompatible under the Constitution and laws of this state with the office of
member of the Legislative Assembly.
(e) Employment is on a temporary basis.
(f) The employer employs fewer than 10
persons immediately prior to the first day of the leave of absence.
(6) As used in this section, “prospective
member” means a person who is certified or appointed to serve in the

which such employer maintains a place of business has jurisdiction, upon the
filing of a petition by the Attorney General on behalf of the person entitled
to such benefits by reason of noncompliance of the employer, specifically to
require the employer to comply with the provisions of ORS 171.120 and 171.122.
(2) If any employer fails to comply with
ORS 171.120 and 171.122, the member or prospective member may bring an action
under ORS chapter 659A employing counsel of the member’s or prospective member’s
own choosing. [1957 c.549 §3; 1989 c.1066 §3; 1991 c.454 §3; 2001 c.621 §70]

ELECTION
DATES

which elections are held in this state would consolidate separate single
