Currently, Portland operates under a city commission government with a five-member board, including the Mayor, that is elected at-large.[1] Under the new form of government, approved by voters in 2022, Portland will operate under a unique system. The mayor will no longer be apart of the city council, and instead of five at-large positions, the council will have twelve districted seats. Three councilmembers will each represent one of four districts. Elections will continue to be officially nonpartisan.[2]
