SALEM (AP) - Democrats are leading Republicans by roughly two-to-one in efforts to register new voters for the November election, according to newly released voter data.

Registration figures released from the Oregon Elections Division on Wednesday show that 74,403 people have added their names to the voter rolls from January to Sept. 1. And of those new voters, 33,667 are Democrats, while 16,801 have signed on as Republicans. The rest have registered as independents or minor-party members.

Statewide, voter registration has climbed 4 percent since January.

The Oct. 12 deadline looms for people to be registered in time to vote in the Nov. 2 election.
