the January 31, 2012 special election only. OAR 165-007-0320 does not apply to
this unique situation because it only applies to general elections, and not to
special elections.
(a) The unique circumstances of this special election
in the 1st Congressional District will allow each county to print the
abbreviated name of each party who nominates a candidate beneath the name of
the candidate. The abbreviated party names that will be printed on the ballot
and in the voters’ pamphlet for this January 31, 2012 special election are:
Constitution Party
Democratic Party
Independent Party
Libertarian Party
Nonaffiliated
Pacific Green Party
Progressive Party
Republican Party
Working Families Party
(b) Because there will only be one contest on the
ballot, no county will be at risk of running over to a second ballot card due
to their printing of abbreviated party names beneath the candidate name. Since
abbreviated party names will be printed on the ballot and in the voters’
pamphlet the key required by OAR 165-007-0320 will not be required.
