Or. Admin. Code § 603-071-0030 - Nominating Petitions for Directors
(1) Except as provided in section (4) of this
rule, nominating petitions of candidates for director to be voted for at a
general election shall be filed with the department no later than the 70th day
before the date of the election. The department shall file the nominating
petition with the appropriate election officer no later than the 61st day
before the date of the election, so that the appropriate election officer may
perform the necessary election procedures.
(2) In the event of a vacancy in the office
of a director, so that the provisions of either section (3) or (4) of this rule
would apply, the district shall immediately prepare, and file with the
department not later than 30 days after the vacancy occurs, a written
confirmation of vacancy setting forth the date of vacancy, cause of vacancy,
and identity of the office (term of office, position or zone, etc.).
(3) If a vacancy occurs in the office of a
director, in addition to any other procedural requirements, the provisions of
section (1) of this rule shall apply.
(4) If a vacancy occurs in the office of a
director within a time period that would preclude compliance with section (1)
of this rule, the appropriate election officer shall be immediately notified of
this circumstance. Under this circumstance, nominating petitions of candidates
for director shall be filed with the appropriate election officer for
verification of signatures on the petitions no later than 20 days before the
date of the election. The petitions shall thereafter be submitted by the
election officer to the department for confirmation of the validity of the
contents of the petitions and the need therefore. If the election is determined
to be necessary, and the contents of the petitions appropriate, the department
shall request the appropriate election officer to publish an amended Notice of
Election, prepare supplemental election ballots and absentee ballots, and to
perform other procedures prescribed in ORS Chapter 255 for district
elections.
