What to know as ranked choice voting expands in Multnomah County
Description: Multnomah County voters will receive their ballots next week, and this year they will see two separate ballot pages.
One page will include traditional contests, such as state and federal offices and ballot measures. The other will be dedicated to ranked choice voting contests for Portland and Multnomah County offices.
Ranked choice voting will be familiar to Portland voters, who used the system to elect the mayor and City Council in 2024. But it will be new for many voters outside Portland, including in East Multnomah County.
County elections officials say they are focusing outreach there because many of those voters have not previously used ranked choice voting.
