Non-presidential election years like this one tend to be a bit more leisurely in the political world. Up to a point, anyway. It's true that Oregon's primary election is in May and California's is in June, but some deadlines are creeping up.

Chris Walker is the longtime Clerk of Jackson County; she visits to go over some of the things voters need to know before registration closes and ballots arrive late next week (around April 30th).
