Dear Oregonians,
Today is National Voter Registration Day. While you’re checking your voter registration information to make sure it’s up to date or registering online for the first time, take a moment to watch our new public service announcement, Voter Registration Feels Good.
Since the 2020 election, false information has had a real impact on our democracy. But there is something we can do about it. Research shows the best way to fight back is to reach people with positive, accurate messages about elections before they are exposed to mis or disinformation. This is often called “pre-bunking.”
Our successful “Voting in Oregon Feels Good” campaign did just that, reaching millions of Oregonians in the 2022 election cycle with accessible, engaging messages that undermined the most common false election narratives and promoted participation. Now, as we gear up for the 2024 election cycle, we are excited to continue building out this campaign.
Additionally, please take a moment to follow our new elections mascot Blobby. The main character from our Voting In Oregon Feels Good campaign has their own social media pages. You can follow Blobby on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.
Sincerely,
LaVonne Griffin-Valade
Oregon Secretary of State
