What are the requirements for running for office in Oregon?
The requirements for running for office in Oregon include being a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, and a resident of the state for at least one year before filing for candidacy. Candidates must also meet specific residency requirements for the office they are seeking. For example, legislative and statewide elected positions require candidates to be residents of their respective districts or the state, while local government offices have their own residency requirements. Additionally, candidates must submit a nominating petition with a specified number of signatures, pay a filing fee, and comply with campaign finance regulations. It is essential to review the specific requirements for the desired office as they may vary. More detailed information can be found on the Oregon Secretary of State's website.
