Circulator Declarations

In Oregon, the circulator can use a residential address or P.O. box in the declaration. If a P.O. box go by the box number as the house number and p as the street name.

The shorthand is the

1. first letter of the first name
2. first letter of last name
3. first digit of house number or P.O. box number
4. first letter of street name or p if a P.O. box
5. first letter of city
6. full 5-digit zip code

Check the box if the circulator signed, and enter the signing date.

Signatures

City, zip, and signing date are not required.

P.O. boxes are not deficient. You can search a P.O. box number as a house number. Some rural voters are registered this way.

Special Soft Match Criteria

For the Eugene petition, soft match according to default specs.

For statewide petitions, to soft match on name uniqueness, the name must be unique per city. After a last name/first name smart search, type a single space and a few letters of the city to filter results (e.g. smi joh det for John Smith in Detroit). If the name is unique to the specific city, it's a soft match. This is true even if there are results from both a city and a township of the same name. If no locality is written, the signature cannot be a soft match based on name uniqueness.
