Watch our 2024 Election Series of community education panels

This fall, the League is offering a series of community education panel discussions about Election 2024: from ranked-choice voting to our new Portland city government, with an election recap at the end of this historic season. Our panels are free and open to the public, who only need to register at this link.

You can view the video of the first program, Ranked-Choice Voting: Moving Portland Forward With Confidence.

Understand Ranked-Choice Voting

Ranked-choice voting is new to Portland city elections, and we want you to feel confident when you cast your ballot. Your vote is your voice — and your voice matters! Learn about using ranked-choice voting by clicking here. View a video we created from our PowerPoint on RCV by clicking here.

Also see the Community Workshops section below to learn about the in-person training we offer.

Get to know your new City government

Twelve city councilors instead of four. A mayor focused on administration, with the help of a city administrator. City Council focused on long-term legislative priorities.

Portland’s city government is changing, and we want you to understand it so you can be an informed voter and an engaged participant in city decisions. Portland voters passed City Charter reforms in 2022, and by January 2025, the new form of city government voters asked for will take shape. Learn about what to expect from this new city government.

Find your District

You can find which district you and your neighbors will vote in by visiting Portland.gov/vote/districts and entering your address or clicking on the Portland map. More information on the new districts is at the City of Portland transition webpage.

Help educate your community

Toolkit for social media and printed materials

You can share our written materials with your community and social networks.

Community workshops

The League and other organizations are giving extensive training on ranked-choice voting (RCV) prior to the November election. League volunteers are educating the community about both our new form of government and ranked-choice voting. We will also continue our usual educational presentations about ballot measures and our voter resources with candidate profiles and interviews. We can help educate your community through in-person workshops.
