Margins of victory
The average margin of victory for contested races in the Oregon House of Representatives in 2016 was lower than the national average. Out of 60 races in the Oregon House of Representatives in 2016, 50 were contested, meaning at least two candidates competed for that seat in the general election. The average margin of victory across these races was 28.6 percent. Across contested single-winner state legislative elections in 2016, the average margin of victory was 29.01 percent.[1]
| Democratic candidates in the Oregon House of Representatives saw larger margins of victory than Republican candidates in 2016. Democrats won 35 races. In the 30 races where a winning Democrat faced a challenger, the average margin of victory was 28.7 percent. Republicans won 25 races in 2016. In the 20 races where a winning Republican faced a challenger, the average margin of victory was 28.3 percent. |
| More Democratic candidates than Republican candidates saw margins of victory that were less than 10 percentage points.

Competitiveness
Candidates unopposed by a major party
In 20 (33.3 percent) of the 60 seats up for election, there was only one major party candidate running for election. A total of 12 Democrats and eight Republicans were guaranteed election in November barring unforeseen circumstances.
Two major party candidates faced off in the general election in 40 (66.6 percent) of the 60 districts up for election.
Primary challenges
A total of three incumbents faced primary competition on May 17. Fourteen incumbents did not run for re-election in 2016, and another 43 incumbents advanced past the primary without opposition. The state representatives who faced primary competition included:
- District 21: Incumbent Brian Clem defeated Robert Rader in the Democratic primary.
- District 23: Incumbent Mike Nearman defeated Beth Jones in the Republican primary.
- Nearman defeated his predecessor, Jim Thompson, in the 2014 Republican primary; Thompson is running this year as an independent.
- District 44: Incumbent Tina Kotek defeated Sharon Nasset in the Democratic primary.
Retired incumbents
Fourteen incumbent representatives—10 Democrats and four Republicans—did not run for re-election, while 46 (76.6 percent) incumbents ran for re-election. A list of those incumbents can be found above.
Results from 2014
There were 6,057 seats in 87 chambers with elections in 2014. All three aspects of Ballotpedia's Competitiveness Index—the number of open seats, incumbents facing primary opposition, and general elections between partisan candidates—showed poor results compared to the prior election cycle. States with elections in 2014 held fewer general elections between partisan candidates. Additionally, fewer incumbents faced primary opposition and more incumbents ran for re-election than in recent years.
Since 2010, when the Competitiveness Index was established, there had not been an even-year election cycle to do statistically worse in any of the three categories. See the following chart for a breakdown of those scores between each year.
| Overall Competitiveness | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 | 2012 | 2014 | |
| Competitiveness Index | 36.2 | 35.8 | 31.4 |

Historical context
Uncontested elections: In 2014, 32.8 percent of Americans lived in states with an uncontested state senate election. Similarly, 40.4 percent of Americans lived in states with uncontested house elections. Primary elections were uncontested even more frequently, with 61 percent of people living in states with no contested primaries. Uncontested elections often occur in locations that are so politically one-sided that the result of an election would be a foregone conclusion regardless of whether it was contested or not.
Open seats: In most cases, an incumbent will run for re-election, which decreases the number of open seats available. In 2014, 83 percent of the 6,057 seats up for election saw the incumbent running for re-election. The states that impose term limits on their legislatures typically see a higher percentage of open seats in a given year because a portion of incumbents in each election are forced to leave office. Overall, the number of open seats decreased from 2012 to 2014, dropping from 21.2 percent in 2012 to 17.0 percent in 2014.
Incumbent win rates: Ballotpedia's competitiveness analysis of elections between 1972 and 2014 documented the high propensity for incumbents to win re-election in state legislative elections. In fact, since 1972, the win rate for incumbents had not dropped below 90 percent—with the exception of 1974, when 88 percent of incumbents were re-elected to their seats. Perhaps most importantly, the win rate for incumbents generally increased over time. In 2014, 96.5 percent of incumbents were able to retain their seats. Common convention holds that incumbents are able to leverage their office to maintain their seat. However, the high incumbent win rate may actually be a result of incumbents being more likely to hold seats in districts that are considered safe for their party.
Marginal primaries: Often, competitiveness is measured by examining the rate of elections that have been won by amounts that are considered marginal (5 percent or less). During the 2014 election, 90.1 percent of primary and general election races were won by margins higher than 5 percent. Interestingly, it is usually the case that only one of the two races—primary or general—will be competitive at a time. This means that if a district's general election is competitive, typically one or more of the district's primaries were won by more than 5 percent. The reverse is also true: If a district sees a competitive primary, it is unlikely that the general election for that district will be won by less than 5 percent. Primaries often see very low voter turnout in comparison to general elections. In 2014, there were only 27 million voters for state legislative primaries, but approximately 107 million voters for the state legislative general elections.
