The Oregon Amending Petition Signatures, Ballot Titles and Voter Qualifications Initiative, also known as Our Oregon Signatures Count Initiative, was not put on the November 4, 2014 ballot as an initiated state statute. The measure would have limited the enforcement of laws disqualifying voter's valid signature even if the gatherer or circulator obtains the signature illegally and reactivated "inactive" voter registration for all purposes automatically upon signing petitions. It also would have required electronic posting of voter names if their signature was disqualified and counted them if the voter validated the signature. It would have made other modifications regarding lawsuits to contest signature disqualifications and eliminated the ballot title for initiatives of 100 words or less.[1][2]
Support
The chief petitioners for this measure were Duane Ray Fletchall and Knute Buehler.[1]
Path to the ballot

In order to qualify for the ballot, supporters were required to collect a minimum of 87,213 valid signatures by July 3, 2014. The measure was initially filed on April 29, 2013. The chief petitioners withdrew the measure on February 5, 2014. Another version of the measure was submitted on March 20, 2014. The petitioners appealed the ballot title language for their measure to the Oregon Supreme Court. The decision on the appeal was still pending as of June 7, 2014, making it unlikely the measure would be approved for circulation in time to gather sufficient signatures and be placed on the November 2014 ballot.[1][3]
