0 officially published named statewide write-ins

The official pamphlet instructs voters to use the blank line and fill the adjacent oval to write in a candidate. Oregon's SEL 141 page sets a December 16 post-election acceptance deadline for a nominee whose name did not appear on the general-election ballot. The checked official sources do not publish a pre-election named statewide write-in roster, so the count is zero verified names, not zero write-in availability.
