Redistricting

2020-2021

See also: Redistricting in Oregon after the 2020 census

Gov. Kate Brown (D) signed a new congressional map into law on September 27, 2021. The map was approved by the Oregon House of Representatives 33-16, and approved in the Oregon State Senate 18-6. This was the third time the Oregon State Legislature successfully enacted a congressional redistricting map since 1910 without gubernatorial veto, court ordered re-drawing, or authority for map drawing being passed to the secretary of state. This map took effect for Oregon’s 2022 congressional elections.

Before the maps were approved, all but one House Republican did not attend the special session on Sept. 25, expressing dissatisfaction with the process and proposed maps. Sixteen of the twenty-three House Republicans returned when the session resumed on Sept. 27, meaning the House was able to reach a quorum and move forward with the redistricting votes. Rep. Suzanne Weber (R) said "Many of us [Republicans] are only here because we don’t trust the secretary of state Shemia Fagan (D) to draw these maps."

The Oregonian said the map created three safe Democratic seats, one safe Republican seat, one seat that leans Democratic, and one seat that is a toss-up.

How does redistricting in Oregon work? In Oregon, congressional and state legislative district lines are drawn by the state legislature. District lines are subject to veto by the governor.

If the legislature fails to establish a redistricting plan for state legislative districts, it falls to the secretary of state to draw the boundaries.

State law requires that congressional and state legislative districts meet the following criteria:

• Districts must be contiguous.
• Districts must "utilize existing geographic or political boundaries."
• Districts should not "divide communities of common interest."
• Districts should "be connected by transportation links."
• Districts "must not be drawn for the purpose of favoring a political party, incumbent or other person."

2020

2024

2010-2011

This is the 4th Congressional District prior to the 2010 redistricting.

In 2011, the Oregon State Legislature approved a new map of the congressional districts based on updated population information from the 2010 census. It was the first time in 60 years the Oregon legislature agreed on a bipartisan redistricting map.
