“We’re glad the Oregon Secretary of State’s office is able to use Facebook to help reach inactive voters and let them know how they can cast a ballot this fall,” said Andy Stone, a Facebook spokesman. Richardson’s chief of staff Deb Royal said the inactive voter list was cross-referenced with Facebook users who are Oregon residents. Oregon has 447,000 inactive voters, Royal said. An inactive-status voter can also complete an online voter registration form at OregonVotes.gov to become active again. A link will be included for voters to take care of their registration, Royal said.
