Election results

2024

This district's race in the 2024 Portland City Council election was notable for having the only change in the winner due to transfers performed under the single transferable vote system. Eli Arnold captured the third-most first preferences in the first round of tabulation, leading Eric Zimmerman by just over 100 votes. However, Zimmerman received enough transfers (due voters' second- through sixth-place rankings on ballots that were tramsferred from eliminated candidates) to surpass Arnold's final vote total by just under 800 votes in further rounds of tabulation, and beat him out to the district's third seat.
