Oregon's 2006 statewide election included a May 16primary election and a November 7general election.
Tenstatewide ballot measures were on the November ballot. The following offices were up for election:Governor,Supreme Court Position 6 (to succeedWallace P. Carson, Jr.), and numerous seats in thestate legislature (House of Representatives andSenate), the state Circuit Courts, and the District Attorney's offices.
Offices that were uncontested, or local to various towns, counties, or regions, were also on Oregon ballots. Such races are not listed on this page.
According to theAnnual Oregon Population Report for 2005,[1] the total estimated population of Oregon as of July 1, 2005 was 3,631,440, of which 2,765,827 were of voting age. Of these, 69,146 were ineligible to vote due to legal impediments, leaving an estimated 2,696,681 Oregonians eligible to vote. 1,976,669 voters were in fact registered for the 2006 election, 73.3% of those estimated eligible, and 70.8% of these registered voters or 1,399,650 voters actually did cast their ballots.
Both partisan and non-partisan offices were at stake in the 2006 election cycle. Oregon conducts partisan and non-partisan elections differently:
County governments conduct the elections. Immediately after an election, their web sites[2]are the best place to find accurate election results. The Secretary of State's office posts official results 30 days after an election.
All five of Oregon's federalcongressional districts in the U.S. House of Representatives were up for election in 2006. All incumbents (four Democrats, one Republican) won re-election.
In thebicameralOregon Legislative Assembly, each of the 30 Senate districts is composed of exactly two House districts.Detailed district boundaries may be found at the Secretary of State's website.[3][4]
Oregon's state house in its entirety comes up for election in even-numbered years. All 60 biennially elected seats in the House were up for election. Each seat has a 2-year term with no term limits. The Democrats won in 31 of 60 districts, gaining four seats and control of Oregon's state house for the first time since 1990.

| Total | 30 | |||
Oregon State Senators serve four-year terms withoutterm limits. Their terms are staggered so that only half of the Senators are up for re-election every two even-numbered years.
The Republicans lost one seat in the state senate, because Senator Westlund, although not up for election, switched first to non-partisan Independent to challenge for the governor's seat, then withdrew from that race and re-registered as a Democrat, gaining the Democrats one seat. The Democrats, however, also lost Senator Gordly, who was not up for election either, but she re-registered as a non-partisan Independent. Outside the party changes by these two individual Senators, no other seats in the Senate shifted party as a result of the election, although three incumbents declined to run for various reasons, and another lost his primary. Democrats maintained their majority.
Most races were not strongly contested in the general election. In 60% of the legislative races, the "underdog" candidate raised less than 25% of the funds his or her opponent raised. Also, in 85% of the 75 legislative races, the winner was the candidate who raised more money.[5]
Candidates for the Oregon Senate[6] and House[7] are listed in the chart below. House districts are listed next to the Senate district to which they belong (rather than listing the Senate and House in separate charts.) The counties covered by each Senate district are listed initalics, with (parentheses) if the county extends into other districts. Box colors indicate party affiliation for both incumbents and general election winners (light blue for Democrats, light red for Republicans). Names and statistics of general election winners are alsoboldfaced. For primary candidates, seeOregon primary election, 2006.

Oregon Blue Book, list of elected executive officials[239]
Incumbent Governor Ted Kulongoski (D) won re-election.
Dan Gardner was unopposed in the primary and then won re-election in the general.[240]
Susan Castillo won re-election.[241]
Many judicial positions are not contested. Incumbents are rarely opposed, and when they resign, it is often timed such that the Governor chooses their replacement.[242]
If a judicial position becomes vacant and the governor declines to make an appointment, it must be filled at the next general election. If it is not too late to file for a primary election, candidates will appear on that ballot in the first round of a runoff election. If there is no primary before the next general election, all candidates appear on the general election ballot, and a plurality vote may determine the winner.
