Broadcasters participate in the “OAB Day at the Capitol” event held annually during the legislative session.

A quick reference to the election dates in Oregon. The Primary LUC will always begin 45 days prior to the Primary Election (excluding the day of the election), and the General LUC will always begin 60 days prior to the General Election (excluding the day of the election). It’s important to remember that if you decide to take candidate advertising on the day of the election, then the LUC must be honored.
The state of Oregon’s election dates are coming soon.
