The city auditor will be elected to a two-year term in 2024, while the office will be up for election for a four-year term in 2026. Incumbent auditor Simone Rede is eligible to run for re-election to a second term in office.
Due to a ballot measure passed by voters in 2022, this will be the first election under Portland's new form of government. Instead of a 5-seat council, the new council will have 12 seats, all up for election. Six members will run for four-year terms; six others will run for two-year terms in 2024 and will be eligible to run for a full four-year term in 2026. All members will be elected from four districts using proportional ranked-choice voting. The members will replace the outgoing five-member Portland City Commission, which was elected using at-large first-past-the-post voting.
All incumbent members of the Commission are eligible to run for re-election to the City Council.
Sam Adams, former Portland mayor and onetime top aide to Mayor Ted Wheeler: Adams says he's recently been asked to run for mayor and for City Council, but hasn't decided yet. "It's not a no, it's not a yes," he adds.
Nor will [Mozyrsky] run for mayor, he adds.
