Dear Portland Voter,

Are you confused about what the Portland City government will look like under the new City Charter?
Are you worried about how to vote using ranked choice voting?
Friendly House Community Center is hosting a City-Wide Voter Education event on September 22, from 4 to 5:30pm. 1737 NW 26th Ave., doors open at 3:30pm. The presentation will feature local experts explaining Portland’s new form of government and how to use ranked choice voting. This event is free and open to the public.
Friendly House is producing this program in collaboration with the City of Portland. Vadim Mozyrsky (Portland Charter Review Commission member and Chair of Neighbors West Northwest), will be making opening remarks. The League of Women Voters of Portland will be at the event to register you to vote (if you are at least 16 years old), update your voter registration or confirm your voter registration.
Speakers will include:
Lory Hefele, a member of Portland’s Government Transition Advisory Committee, will explain the new city government structure, including our four new districts and the new Mayor-Council form of government.
James Eccles, an Elections Analyst with the City Auditor’s Office and the City’s lead on voter education, will explain how ranked choice voting works, including how to mark your ballot and how vote tabulation works. James will facilitate a live mock election and answer your questions about ranked choice voting.
Join us! Elections officials are getting a huge number of questions from community members about how this new voting system will work. Please tell your friends and neighbors who will be voting in Portland in November about this voter education event.
