Did anyone get their voters pamphlet yet? I got mine yesterday and upon looking at it there isn't any republican candidates listed-just democrats and nonpartisan.

The voters pamphlet is for the primary election in May.  Some city and county races will be decided in this election and not in November.  Just before the candidates Statements section, you should see a page titled 'Closed Primary Elections in Oregon'.  That explains which party seats are part of the primary with the final decision in November.  If you don't have any, either there are none in your district, or you are registered as a Democrat or Independant.

Remember, all politics are local.  Candidates come up through the ranks.  The person running for city counsel, county commissioner, or local judge, could very well be determining your future, from a higher seat, years from now. Choose wisely.

I actually understand the primary pretty well. We should be voting for Presidential primary candidates and only Joe Biden is listed. There is no republican candidates in the voter pamphlet and there is only democratic candidates for Secretary of State. I was wondering if I got a dud or if others noticed this too.

Mine has both party candidates listed for all the offices.  I have Brent Barker and Dennis Linthicum both as SoS.  Call the county clerk and get a complete pamphlet.  

Also get hold of Oregon Peoples Vote: https://www.oregonpeoplesvote.com/.  They are the only group that I know of that is actually tracking inconsistencies.  Last cycle, there was no clearinghouse for this type of information and most people didn't complain until after the election.

Are you sure you're not just looking in the wrong area? The Republicans are in the from and dems in the back of the one I got.

Yes I am sure but I have since learned that Trump didn't submit anything to the Oregon SoS not sure why there isn't any Attorney General or SoS GOP candidates though

Ballots should start showing up tomorrow.  Today is the deadline to register to vote in the primary.  I'm actually finding conservative hispanics that haven't registered to vote yet.
