2. Quotes from websites can be used, but must include the date and website address as part of the
statement. It is recommended that a printed copy from the website be maintained for your records from
the date you are referencing in your candidate statement.
3. Italics should only be used when citing the source of a quote from a published source. Example of quotes:
“The Oregonian, 06/21/2011” or from Mayor Smith’s website,
the latest edition of the NW Times, the paper said this about me ‘… that Joe Smith is the best person for
the job.’” NW Times, 02/04/2014.
Portrait
1. A portrait photo is optional. It is recommended that one 5”x7” black and white portrait be submitted.
Alternately, a digital file portrait in a standard file format (.tif or .jpg) may be submitted, on disk or as an
attachment to an e‐mail sent to the County Elections office. The digital file must clearly reference the
candidate name and should be a minimum of 300 dpi. If the portrait submitted is in a format different
from those recommended above, the quality of reproduction may be affected or the portrait may be
unusable. The portrait must be received by the filing deadline. If a digital file is submitted, a hard copy
print of the same exact portrait that was submitted must be provided by the deadline with the filing.
2. The portrait must be less than four years old. If the portrait is older than four years old, it will not be used
in the Voters’ Pamphlet.
3. The portrait should only show the face, neck and shoulders of the candidate; no hands, or anything
below the shoulders. Please leave extra space around the portrait so that it can be cropped to the
required size.
4. The background of the portrait must be plain (non‐textured, light gray background is recommended).
Materials such as paneling, wallpaper, windows, textured walls, bookcases, flags and plants will be
cropped or altered. In the portrait, a candidate may not wear clothing or jewelry which may be
construed as showing membership in any organization (e.g., uniform, judicial robe, hat, lapel pin, etc).
Portraits that do not meet these requirements will be cropped or altered and any additional expenses
charged to the candidate.
5. It is recommended that the candidate name be written on the back of the print. Do not use a pen that will
bleed through to the portrait.
