THE WEEK AHEAD
Oregon will spare 60,000
voters from inactive status
KRISTENA HANSEN
ASSOCIATED PRESS
In Oregon — where its
first-in-the-nation auto-
matic-voter registration
system has been hailed as
a pioneer in knocking
down voter-access barri-
ers — it takes just five
years of failing to partici-
pate in an election before
a registered voter gets
knocked from the active
voter rolls and no longer
receives a ballot in the
mail.
Roughly 400,000 regis-
tered Oregonian voters
have been flagged as in-
active at some point in
time, a number that this
year is expected to grow
by another 30,000 who
registered during the
2012 general election
when President Barack
Obama was up for re-
election.
For Secretary of State
Dennis Richardson, five
years isn’t long enough.
So this year, he’s doubling
that timeline to 10 years.
Richardson, the state’s
first Republican secre-
tary of state in more than
30 years and the first Re-
publican to hold a state-
wide elected office in 14
years, says that will im-
mediately preserve the
statuses of those soon-to-
be-inactive voters this
year. The change will also
be applied retroactively,
potentially reactivating
another 30,000 or so cur-
rently inactive voters by
leveraging DMV data-

bases that Richardson’s
agency already uses to
administer the so-called
Oregon Motor Voter pro-
gram.
“This change will pro-
tect or restore the voting
rights of Oregonians
serving our country on
military
deployments,
college students and vot-
ers frustrated with the
political system,” said
Richardson, who made
the announcement dur-
ing his first press confer-
ence April 11 at the state
Capitol in Salem.
Oregon’s trailblazing
Motor Voter law has so
far registered more than
314,000 Oregonians since
its January 2016 incep-
tion. Those new voters,
about 12 percent of the 2.6
million registered voters
statewide, and overall
voter excitement during
last year’s wild presiden-
tial campaign season
helped push Oregon vot-
er turnout to over 80 per-
cent in November.

Dugaw added that
children are welcome. In
fact, the Red Cross will
offer youth preparedness
programs,

Project and Prepared-
ness Pals for students in
kindergarten through 6th
grade.
The event is also
geared to help businesses
with tips and ideas.
“I encourage business-
es to seriously consider
making this presentation
available to their employ-
ees and, if possible, their
communities as soon as
practicable,” said James
Merryman, president &
chief operating officer of

Prepare Out Loud
Eclipse
– could keep crowds in
town for days.
“They’re making a
multi-day commitment
for an event that’s going
to last two minutes on a
Monday morning,” Palm-
er said. “This is a one-
time opportunity.”
With the economic op-
portunity comes reality
that Silverton’s infra-
structure and public ser-
vice resources will be
strained. Police officer
and firefighters are al-
ready preparing for ex-
traordinary activity at
Silverton Reservoir and
in town.
“We are not that excit-
ed about this, to be hon-
est, but it is what it is,”
Police Chief Jeff Foss-
holm said.
Traffic
congestion
could be partially miti-
gated by the chamber’s
planned operation of
shuttles in town during
the eclipse weekend.
City and business
leaders are not done
grappling with how best
to capitalize on – and deal
with – the expected wave
of tourists.
“If we get 10,000 visi-
tors who come here and
say, ‘Oh my God, it was a
nightmare, I’m not going
back,’ we’ve hurt our-
selves more than any
kind of financial boon we
can make for the week-
end,” Palmer said.

itive step by starting to
prepare now. They will
find some comfort in
knowing they can help
their family and friends
in the event of such as di-
saster and in knowing you
cared enough to bring
this important informa-
tion to their attention.”
One feature presenter
is a captivating eye wit-
ness to one of the most no-
table global disasters of
recent times. Steve Eber-
lein witnessed the de-
struction of the 2004 Box-
ing Day Tsunami in Sri
Lanka, which was caused
by an underwater sub-
duction zone earthquake
and resulted in the deaths
of nearly 300,000 people
in 14 countries.
Eberlien’s first-hand
account of the incident
lends perspective to the
importance of prepared-
ness.
Dugaw stressed that
following the Prepare
Out Loud presentation,
attendees will under-
stand the steps they can
take now to prepare for
an earthquake and the
central role their actions
and voices play in build-
ing our community’s re-
silience.
“We know we need to
prepare for a disaster,
and Prepare Out Loud
helps people and organi-
zations know where to
start,” said Von Sum-

I don’t think it should be
this time,” Councilor Ja-
son Freilinger said.
The push for more
campsites in Silverton is
part of a bigger story un-
folding wherever view-
ers
can
experience
roughly two minutes of
daytime darkness on
Aug. 21.
Campsites and hotel
rooms in the eclipse’s
“path of totality” sold out
long ago.
For campers, Oregon
State Parks last week un-
veiled 1,000 additional
campsites in the path of
the eclipse, from the Ore-
gon Coast to the eastern
parts of the state.
For Silverton, the Aug.
19-21 weekend is a unique
opportunity for local
businesses to make mon-
ey as visitors flow into
the area to witness the
historic
event,

Palmer.
