The Secretary of State of Oregon, an elected constitutional officer within the executive branch of government of the U.S. state of Oregon, is first in line of succession to the Governor. The duties of office are: auditor of public accounts, chief elections officer, and administrator of public records. Additionally, the Secretary of State serves on the Oregon State Land Board and chairs the Oregon Sustainability Board. Following every United States Census, if the Oregon Legislative Assembly cannot come to agreement over changes to legislative redistricting, the duty falls to the Secretary of State. Jeanne Atkins is the current Secretary of State, having taken office on March 11, 2015, after her appointment by Governor Kate Brown. She is a Democrat. Because Atkins was appointed rather than elected, she is not included in the line of succession, and the first in line to the governorship is Treasurer Ted Wheeler. ==Divisions== * Archives Division maintains the official records of Oregon government, provides public access to them, and publishes the ''Oregon Blue Book'' and the ''Oregon Administrative Rules.''
