Relating to precinct committeepersons counting ballots.

HB 3387 allows precinct committeepersons who are candidates on the ballot to volunteer for ballot-counting duties under Oregon law. This amends ORS 254.476 to specifically permit these candidates (who would otherwise be barred from volunteering) to assist county clerks with opening envelopes, handling ballots, and counting votes. The change directly affects precinct committeepersons running for office, removing a previous restriction that prevented them from serving in this role. The bill does not alter voting procedures or eligibility but adjusts who may assist with election administration tasks.
