Election Notes:

The Oregon Constitution, adopted before the Civil War, referred to the state's "white population," "white" inhabitants, "free Negroes" and "mulattoes." These references are obsolete. In some cases, amendments have superseded the references. In other cases, the references are in sections that no longer have any force or effect. Nevertheless, the references to race remain in the constitution. Ballot Measure 14 removes the references to race. The measure does not change the constitution in any other way.
