Oregon lawmakers passed a number of bills as the 2023 legislative session ended last week that will allow voters to determine measures in the election process and salary protocols for state leaders.
The legislature moved to put several measures on the statewide ballot in November 2024, one being a resolution that may lead to pay raises for certain public officials. Lawmakers are asking voters to create an Independent Public Service Compensation Commission to establish salaries for elected officials, legislators, elected district attorneys, and judges.
Another ballot measure voters will see is the option for ranked choice voting for federal and statewide races. If passed, local jurisdictions will be provided with resources to implement the system in elections. After a record-breaking six-week boycott from Senate Republicans, likely resulting in 10 conservative lawmakers being barred from seeking reelection, the legislative session closed Sunday evening.
