Under a so-called motor voter law, an Oregon resident who interacts with the Driver and Motor Vehicle Services Divi- sion, but hasn’t’ registered to vote, will automatically receive a ballot in the mail at least 20 days before the next statewide election. It’s expected to add about 300,000 new voters to the rolls. Lawmakers also managed to expand background checks for private gun sales in May and approved a bill requiring com- panies with at least 10 employees to give their workers paid sick days so employees will no longer have to choose between re- covering from an illness or preserving their paycheck. Both bills were signed by the governor. The Oregon Legislature is expected to return in five months to begin next year’s session.
