The government of Oregon, as prescribed by the Oregon Constitution, is composed of three government branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial.

Oregon also has a system of commissions, wherein private citizens are appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the Senate; these commissions have the authority to hire and fire the heads of the agencies they govern, and must confirm changes to the permanent rules governing those agencies.
