How the council election works

Districts 3 and 4 each elect three councilors. Voters rank candidates in order of preference, and votes can transfer between rounds as candidates reach the election threshold or are eliminated.

PortlandVotes helps compare the candidates, but the official ballot, registration rules, and election results come from the City and county elections offices.
