Oregon Secretary of State LaVonne Griffin-Valade announced Tuesday that the elected officials who participated in the legislative walkout earlier this year will not be allowed to run for reelection in 2024.

Last year, two-thirds of Oregon voters approved Measure 113, meant to disqualify legislators from reelection following the end of their term if they had 10 absences from legislative floor sessions.
