(Salem, OR) -- Oregon legislators with 10 or more unexcused absences during the 2023 session won't be allow to run in the 2024 election. Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade directed the Oregon Elections Division to implement an administrative rule to clarify the law passed by voters last November. The decision was made with legal advice from the Oregon Department of Justice. Griffin-Valade says the rule follows voters' intent. There have been some interpretations that Senators disqualified by their walkout would be able to run in 2024, but not in 2028.
