On May 17, 1988 and November 8, 1988, elections were held in Portland, Oregon, to elect the mayor. Incumbent mayor Bud Clark won reelection, defeating former Portland Police Bureau chief Ron Still. [1] [2]
Portland uses a nonpartisan system for local elections, in which all voters are eligible to participate. All candidates are listed on the ballot without any political party affiliation.
All candidates meeting the qualifications competed in a blanket primary election on May 17, 1988. [3] [4] As no candidate received an absolute majority, the top two finishers advanced to a runoff in the November 8 general election. [5]
