University offices, staff, and students displaying or wearing the safe zone
sign - a pink triangle with a green circle around it - are visible supporters of
lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender members of our community. These
individuals or offices are indicating they will be understanding, supportive and
trustworthy if a gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender student, colleague, or ally
needs help, advice, or just someone to whom they can talk.
If you can offer yourself as a "Safe Zone," we encourage you to display this
symbol in your office, on your clothing or backpack, or at home.
Safe Zone buttons and stickers are available in the Office of Student Life, 364
Oregon Hall; the LGBA Office, 319 EMU; the Counseling Center, 210 Student
Health Center; the ASUO Office; and other campus offices.

and Support Services Program, at 346-1 134, or carnahan@oregon.uoregon.edu

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE OF VOTE BY MAIL
■ 1981: Legislature approves a test of vote-by-mail for local elections.
■ 1987: VBM made permanent; majority of counties use it for local/special
elections.
■ 1993: VBM first used for statewide ballot measure elections.
■ 1995: Oregon becomes first state to conduct a primary election com
pletely by mail to nominate candidates to fill a federal office — 57.9 percent
turnout.
■ JAN. 1996: Oregon becomes first state to conduct a general election to
tally by mail to fill a federal vacancy when it selected Senator Ron Wyden to
replace Bob Packwood — 66.3 percent turnout.
■ MARCH 1996: Oregon holds country's second vote-by-mail presidential
primary—57.6 turnout.

"Voting often and voting light
ly could be detrimental to our
government,” said Jim West
wood, commission member from
Portland.
Commission member Delna
Jones agreed.
“If mail elections are too fre
quent, they become like just an
other piece of mail,” said the
Beaverton resident. “People stop
realizing the importance of par
ticipation. Once the novelty of
vote-by-mail wears off, there will
be a decline in voter participa
tion.”
And voting by mail doesn’t
guarantee that the quality of deci
sion will go up, said Mark Rhi
nard, commission member and
former University student. But
some commission members sug
gested that voting by mail pro
vides more opportunity to study
the issues.
Other findings by the commis
sion included: No party, cam
paign or candidate benefits from
vote-by-mail elections; more re
search must be done to deter
mine the effects of vote by mail
participation among racial and
ethnic minorities; most people
viewed mail ballots as a conve
nience; and neither the state nor
county should be required to pay
postage on mail ballots.
