Requires that all candidates will be on the same primary ballot.
Requires all candidates for partisan office and nonpartisan office, regardless of political party affiliation or nonaffiliation, to appear on the same unified primary election ballot, with the five candidates receiving the most votes advancing to the general election ballot. Exempts candidates for President and Vice President of the United States.
A ‘unified primary’ is the same as ‘ranked-choice voting.’ This is an end-run around voters rejecting ranked-choice voting, and unethical for legislators to force it on voters after being rejected.
There isn’t a state that has tried ranked-choice voting, that one or more elections produced a false win. This will never give Oregonians confidence in their voting system.
Email all legislators that we voted down ranked choice voting
Its bad enough that we have a 2 party system, an individual should have the right to vote for any person. It should not be limited to Dem., Rep., Lib., etc.
I oppose hb 3166. How dare you do this. This is a round about way to get in ranked choice voting which Oregonians have rejected. This is unethical for legislatures to try and push this through after being rejected by the citizens of Oregon. This will not instill confidence in the voting system.
I urge you to drop this bill.
I Vote NO on HB 3166! Reasons are previous votes for this have been almost 60 % of the state said no. Now your back at it again, ignoring what the people have said the first time. Making us repeat our first statement. This should not be up for debate it was turned down. Do not allow this to move forward. Kill it where it stands.

Randy, you do realize this is talking about the PRIMARY election? That’s the one we do in May. That’s when each party votes for whom they want to run for their party in the General election which is held in November. If we go to rank choice voting in the MAY election, we will most likely end up with two Democrats in every November election. That’s not a choice and it’s not how a representative Republic is run. The only reason the liberals are pushing it in Oregon is because they have the majority and they know if they get this through, Oregon will forever be a blue (sad) state.
