| Election Notes:
- This election, along with a simultaneous special election, was the first use of the popular vote for electing a United States Senator. In 1904, Oregon passed the Direct Primary Law via initiative, which created a non-binding pledge that members of the Legislative Assembly would select the winner of the popular vote as United States Senator. Jonathan Bourne won a narrow plurality of the popular vote at the general election in June 1906 and his selection was subsequently ratified by the Legislative Assembly on January 22, 1907.
