  • More effective and efficient service delivery;
  • Greater transparency and accountability;
  • Using innovation to connect Oregonians to their government.

Our Mission

The Secretary of State is the keeper of The State of Oregon's History, the auditor of public funds and the first stop for Oregon businesses and the State's chief elections officer.

We strive to:

  • Engage Oregonians
  • Innovate for the Future
  • Deliver Results
