About the Easy Voting Guide
People with disabilities have the same right to cast a private and independent ballot as their fellow Americans.
The Easy Voting Guide is published by Disability Rights Oregon (DRO) for every general election and is designed to be as accessible as possible to people with disabilities. DRO is a non-partisan organization and does not endorse any candidates.
Candidates
DRO uses photos and lists candidates in the random order of letters of the alphabet as provided by the Secretary of State. DRO gave candidates guidelines for writing in Plain English and asked candidates to limit their statements to 250 characters. DRO did not edit or change the candidate statements, and statements more than 250 characters were cut off.
Learn about the candidates for U.S. President, U.S. Representative, State Senator, State Representative, and other offices under the “Candidates” tab in the main menu.
Ballot Measures
DRO summarized costs and arguments for and against ballot measures. DRO based arguments on arguments provided in the Voters’ Pamphlet. DRO used guidelines for plain English and journalistic style guides to write summaries.
Learn more about current ballot measures under the “Ballot Measures” tab in the main menu.
