The 2024 Portland City Council elections will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the members of Portland's City Council. This will be a unique election as it will be the first election under Portland's new form of government, the first without a primary, the first where every seat will be up for election, and the first under a proportional ranked-choice voting system as opposed to a first-past-the-post voting system with a primary. [1]
Currently, Portland operates under a city commission government with a five-member board, including the mayor. [2] Under the new form of government, approved by voters in 2022, the mayor will no longer be a part of the city council, and instead of five at-large positions, the council will have twelve districted seats. Three councilmembers will each represent one of four districts. [1] The district elections will use a single transferable vote system. Special elections will also no longer be used to fill vacancies in the council. [3] The elections will continue to be officially nonpartisan.
In the previous election, Dan Ryan and Rene Gonzalez were elected to the council, marking a shift in voters away from progressivism towards more moderate democratic politicians. [4] Currently, Mingus Mapps, Rene Gonzalez, and Carmen Rubio are running for Mayor while the other Commissioners have yet to announce their intentions.
District 1 represents the eastern part of the city, primarily everything east of Interstate 205 all the way to the city's eastern border with Gresham, as well as Portland International Airport. [5] Neighborhoods represented include Argay, Centennial, Glenfair, Hazelwood, Lents, Mill Park, Parkrose, Parkrose Heights, Pleasant Valley, Powellhurst-Gilbert, Russell, Sumner, Wilkes, and Woodland Park. [6]
District 2 represents most of North and Northeast Portland north of Interstate 84 and west of 82nd Avenue. [5] Neighborhoods represented include Alameda, Arbor Lodge, Beaumont-Wilshire, Boise, Bridgeton, Cathedral Park, Concordia, Cully, Dignity Village, East Columbia, Eliot, Grant Park, Hayden Island, Hollywood, Humboldt, Irvington, Kenton, King, Lloyd District, Madison South, Overlook, Piedmont, Portsmouth, Sabin, St. Johns, Sullivan's Gulch, Sumner, Sunderland, University Park, Vernon, and Woodlawn. [6]
District 3 represents most of Southeast Portland south of Interstate 84 and west of Interstate 205, as well as a small sliver of Northeast Portland east of 47th Avenue and south of Prescott Avenue. [5] Neighborhoods represented include Brentwood-Darlington, Brooklyn, Buckman, Creston-Kenilworth, Foster-Powell, Hosford-Abernethy (includes Ladd's Addition), Kerns, Laurelhurst, Madison South, Montavilla, Mt. Scott-Arleta, Mt. Tabor, North Tabor, Richmond, Rose City Park, Roseway, South Tabor, Sunnyside, and Woodstock. [6]
District 4 represents all of Portland west of the Willamette River (its Northwest, Southwest, and South sextants) as well as a sliver on the eastside. [5] Neighborhoods represented include Arlington Heights, Arnold Creek, Ashcreek, Bridlemile (includes Glencullen), Collins View, Crestwood, Downtown, Eastmoreland, Far Southwest, Forest Park, Goose Hollow, Hayhurst (includes Vermont Hills), Hillsdale, Hillside, Homestead, Linnton, Maplewood, Markham, Marshall Park, Multnomah (includes Multnomah Village), Northwest District (includes Uptown, Nob Hill, Alphabet Historic District), Northwest Heights, Northwest Industrial, Old Town Chinatown, Pearl District, Reed, Sellwood-Moreland, South Burlingame, South Portland (includes Corbett, Fulton, Lair Hill, Terwilliger, and the Johns Landing and South Waterfront developments), Southwest Hills, Sylvan-Highlands, and West Portland Park (includes Capitol Hill).
