About the city

Portland is a city in Oregon, located in Multnomah County. As of 2020, its population was 652,503.

City government

Since 1913, the city of Portland has utilized a commission system. In this form of municipal government, a city council—composed of an elected mayor and a board of elected commissioners—serves as the city's primary legislative and administrative body.[1] In Portland, the council also possesses quasi-judicial powers.[2]

The city commission system is one of the oldest forms of municipal government in the United States. Portland is the only city out of America's largest 100 that still uses it.[2][3]

Voters in Portland approved Measure 26-228 on November 8, 2022. This measure made three changes to the City Charter: changing the city's government structure from commission to mayor-council, expanding the City Council to 12 members, and establishing ranked-choice voting. The changes took effect for the election on November 5, 2024. For more information about the new election methods, click here.
