The Oregon Secretary of State has placed six Republicans and two Democrats on presidential primary ballots. She still hasn’t decided whether any names will be printed on the Independent Party’s presidential primary ballot. If no names are printed on the Independent Party presidential primary ballot, write-ins will be tallied.
The Republican ballot will list Jeb Bush, Ben Carson, Ted Cruz, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, and Donald Trump. The Democratic ballot will list Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders. Here is a link to the Secretary of State’s web page, listing candidates for presidential primary ballots.
The law says candidates are put on the ballot automatically if they are discussed in the news media. The Independent Party submitted a list of candidates to the Secretary of State for inclusion on the Independent Party ballot. The Attorney General will decide whether to include any names. Generally, press coverage of the presidential candidates whom the Independent Party listed don’t say that any of those candidates is seeking the nomination of the Independent Party. The primary is May 17.
