Authority

The secretary of state is the chief elections officer, auditor, and archivist of the state of Oregon. Under Oregon election law, candidates must file campaign finance reports with the secretary of state. The secretary of state has the authority to create the forms that candidates must file. The secretary of state may issue subpoenas compelling candidates to produce records, and may impose a civil penalty against violators of the law.[1][2][3]
