Upcoming & Recent Events

The LWV of Portland Board of Directors has endorsed the City Charter amendment that will be on Portland voters’ ballots in November. The Board believes the proposed changes will make Portland’s government more representative, responsive, and effective.

Members of the League of Women Voters marched  in the 2022 Grand Floral Parade on Saturday June 11. They were celebrating the 102nd anniversary of the passage of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution granting American women the right to vote in all elections. The year 2022 is also the 102nd anniversary of the League of Women Voters.

Panel Discussion on the International Climate Change Change Conference (COP26) with LWV members who were there! The presentation was on Wednesday, March 9. The video recording and a podcast of this event are now posted on the homepage of this website.

The videos of the Panel Discussions on the Portland Charter Review and on Immigration and Refugee Resettlement are  now posted on our website here and here. We also have a 7-minute video about Teaching High School Civics with the Case Method made after our October event. It is posted here. We also have a podcast of the Charter Review program, a podcast of the Immigration program and a podcast of the Case Method program.

Read our Recent Testimony page for a short summary of our recent letter to Portland Police Chief Lovell and our testimony to the OR Senate Committee on Energy and the Environment.

Oral arguments in the Portland Business Alliance lawsuit against the City are set for Aug. 11. If the judge rules on the case before Aug. 19, the City Council has a tight window to decide what to do next. https://t.co/RRiNiEwuFo

Ranked choice voting: If no candidate receives a majority, the candidate who received the fewest first choices will be eliminated and their votes transferred to the next ranked candidate on that voter's ballot. Repeat this process until a candidate receives a majority of votes. https://t.co/AnyDZ0GtYd
