Shared Districts

Some districts are "shared" and have voters in more than one county. Candidates only file their SEL 190 in the county where the district's administrative office is located. After the filing period closes, each county elections office certifies a list of filed candidates in those shared districts to the other counties. 

Candidates whose name will appear on the Multnomah County ballot have the option of filing a Voters' Pamphlet statement with Multnomah County. Voters' Pamphlet materials must be filed separately with each county in which the candidate's statement is to be published.
