Oregon Election Results

Official returns for Portland City Council, Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas counties, metro city councils from Milwaukie to Hillsboro, Oregon's statewide races and the fight for Congress.

Portland City Council

Three seats each in District 3 and District 4, counted by ranked-choice voting.

How to read these numbers

Each district elects three people. A candidate wins a seat once they pass the threshold: 25% of votes, plus one (the dark line on each bar).

  1. Votes above the threshold for a winner move to those voters' next choices.
  2. If no one passes the threshold, the last-place candidate is eliminated and their ballots move to next choices.
  3. This repeats until three seats are filled.

So the leader on first choices isn't guaranteed a seat, and fourth place can still win. Counts tonight are preliminary and will shift as more ballots arrive through Nov. 10.

Why Oregon counts for days

Oregon votes by mail. Ballots postmarked by Election Day count if they arrive by Nov. 10, so totals keep growing for a week. Portland's ranked-choice counts are rerun with each release and are not final until certification by Nov. 30.
