In the 5th precinct of the 5th district of the City of Portland, during the
last general election, a Notary Public sat along with the municipal election
workers, and the Party poll watchers, and registered voters, who then voted.

Top of ticket was the State Governor, followed by the representatives to the
two houses of the Federal legislature, followed by the representatives to
the two houses of the State legislature, followed by the County, and City
partisan and non-partisan offices.

It ran smoother last November than it did in Nov. 2000, when several thousand
voters had to present themselves to City Hall to register, then go to their
precincts, to vote.
