Ballot Measures and Voter Pamphlet Archives

A common request at the Oregon State Law library is for information about past voter measures. A great source of information about past elections including voter measures is the voter pamphlet. These pamphlets contain prepared pro and con arguments and a short description of the measure.

The SOLL has a print collection of Marion and Multnomah County voter pamphlets covering the years from 1902 to 2004.
