Dear Fellow Marion County Voters:

At the November 4, 1997 Special Election you will be asked to make
some important choices on a variety of measures. Through your
vote by mail ballot you will decide on two state measures, five county
measures and city measures in Salem, Woodburn and St. Paul.

This voter pamphlet is provided to help you become a well informed
voter. In this pamphlet you will find the actual texts of all measures
and additional explanatory statements for the local measures
designed to provide you with impartial and fair information to help you
make an informed decision. Some measures also have had arguments
filed by those supporting and/or opposing the measures. Information
about the two state measures is found in the state voter pamphlet
you will receive in the mail.

On page 4 of this pamphlet you will find information showing you how to
correctly mark your ballot and return it to the elections office so it may be
counted on November 4. You will find voter registration information on
page 3.

Page 23 contains a listing of locations in several communities where you
may deposit your ballot up to 8:00 p.m. on election day if you choose not
to mail it.

If you have any questions about voter registration or voting, please contact
Marion County Elections at 588-5041, or 800-655-5388 if you are out of the
local calling area.

Sincerely,
Al Davidson
Marion County Clerk
