Final Primary Election results certified
Note: Multnomah County and City of Portland elected offices are NOT on the May Primary ballot. They will appear on the November 3, 2026 General Election ballot.
Oregon runs a closed primary — you must be registered with a political party to vote for that party's candidates. (You may change your party affiliation until April 28.) Unaffiliated voters can still vote on non-partisan races (Metro offices) and ballot measures.
