Oregon Voter Registration Deadline for November 2011 Election: October 18th
DEADLINE for registering in Oregon for the November 2011, is October 18th, 2011 (registration deadline is 21 days before an election).
But ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS verify registration and voting deadlines with your local election office. Local elections are on their own schedules! Visit your county elections office.
E.g. In Washington County, October 18th, 2011, is the registration deadline for the Nov. 8th election, but notice other election deadlines. (You can see other Washington County election deadlines by clicking on their Calendar of Events.) And, they even have a Voter Bill of Rights!

Oregon Base Fines and Illegal U-Turns
I was looking at the 2011 OJD Base Fines Instructions and Charts and the 8 x 10 color glossies with circles and arrows and the word U-TURNS caught my eye.
