Election Day is next Tuesday, November 3.

Every election is an opportunity for you to let your voice be heard. Check out these tips and resources to make your vote count.
Learn About Rank Choice Voting

Multnomah County Chair and District 2 Commissioner
Portland City Auditor and City Councilors for Districts 3 and 4
