Oregon elections officials said Tuesday that they expect an official recount of the votes cast for and against Ballot Measure 53 in the May 20 primary election to begin Monday and that the official recount results will be announced by June 30. In a tentative schedule announced by state Elections Division Director John Lindback, county elections officials will have until Friday, June 27, to complete their recounts. The Elections Division will then announce the results the following Monday, June 30. Lindback said the most recent count showed 489,445 votes for Measure 53 and 488,885 against, a difference of 560 votes. He said state law requires an automatic recount if the vote difference is within one-fifth of 1 percent.

Attorney General Dustin McDaniel on Tuesday rejected the name and ballot title of a proposed constitutional amendment to repeal a 2003 law that loosened restrictions on what establishments qualify for a private club permit. McDaniel said the proposal was ambiguous and that the text of the amendment was not included in the request. "I must therefore return your submission and instruct you to submit the language of your proposed amendment together with a proposed popular name and ballot title," the attorney general said in an opinion.
