Donald Trump is listed on the ballot in Oregon, but his campaign did not provide a statement for the voters’ pamphlet, as confirmed by the Oregon Republican Party and the Oregon Secretary of State. While former President Trump is mentioned in the pamphlet, he is not featured alongside Democratic nominee and Vice President Kamala Harris or Pacific Green Party candidate Jill Stein. His name appears on page 26, denoted by an asterisk.
An asterisk at the bottom of the page indicates, “Candidate chose not to submit a voters’ pamphlet statement.”
On Thursday, the Oregon Secretary of State addressed this issue in a post on the social media platform X, previously known as Twitter. The post stated, “The Trump campaign chose not to participate. It was not an omission by officials. Trump/Vance will still be on your ballot.”
The Oregon Republican Party echoed this clarification on its website, noting, “The decision not to submit a statement was made by the Trump campaign earlier this year. Rest assured: President Trump WILL be on your ballot, along with other strong, common-sense Republican candidates.”
Both the Secretary of State and the Oregon GOP confirmed that Trump and his running mate, JD Vance, will appear on the ballots in Oregon. Oregon ballots will be mailed starting October 16, the day following the registration deadline. Voters must ensure their ballots are placed in a drop box or postmarked by 8 p.m. on November 5, Election Day.
Additionally, several other candidates have also opted not to provide statements for the voters’ pamphlet, as indicated by asterisks. This includes We The People vice presidential candidate Nicole Shanahan, Libertarian vice presidential candidate Mike ter Maat, and Jill Stein’s running mate, Rudolph Ware.
It’s worth noting that the Trump campaign did not submit a statement for the Oregon Voters’ Pamphlet during the primary election in May either. The deadline for Oregonians to register to vote is October 15. Voters can register in person or online, and those registering online should have a valid Oregon driver’s license, permit, or ID card on hand.
