The 2024 Oregon Secretary of State election will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the Oregon secretary of state, the highest office in the state after the governor.[1] Incumbent Democrat LaVonne Griffin-Valade was appointed by Governor Tina Kotek to replace Shemia Fagan, who resigned in May 2023 after revelations that she took a consulting job at a cannabis company while her office was auditing Oregon's marijuana industry, which many considered to be a conflict of interest.[2][3] Primary elections will take place May 21, 2024.[1]
Griffin-Valade has announced that she would not be seeking election to a full term.
