The Portland City Council members from districts three and four were elected using multi-winner ranked choice voting.
Under the city's multi-winner ranked choice voting system, all the candidates are running in a single race, and a candidate only needs to secure 25% plus one vote to claim a seat.
District 3 councilors Angelita Morillo, Steve Novick, Tiffany Koyama Lane, and District 4 councilors Olivia Clark, Eric Zimmerman, and Mitch Green are in the lead just after 8 p.m. on election night.
Councilor Olivia Clark made the following statement in her constituent newsletter.
"This week I was re-elected to represent District 4 on the City Council. I am humbled by the ongoing trust that voters have placed in me, and I am optimistic about what’s ahead for Portland," she said.
"This new form of government is just getting started, and I am committed to delivering more results while being mindful of affordability. This next budget cycle will be challenging, but I will continue to make sure that public safety and other core services remain intact."
"Stay tuned for many other updates in the weeks ahead. Thank you to everyone who engaged in this election, whether as a voter, an activist, or a candidate. It’s been a privilege to serve as your Councilor and to meet so many amazing people throughout our district and the city. Onward!"
