SALEM, OR -- Following media reports that the Oregon DMV registered around 300 non-U.S citizens to vote, the Secretary of State ordered updates to impacted voter registrations. Several lawmakers on both sides of the aisle called for a full investigation after Willamette Week uncovered mistakes with Oregon’s Motor Voter system. 

Secretary Lavonne Griffin-Valade issued a statement saying an internal audit determined 0.01% of registrations were in error. Of those, two people have an actual voting history and none will receive a ballot in the upcoming election.

She says the mistake occurred when DMV staff mis-identified the type of documentation presented by the person requesting a new driver's license or state ID.
