Future Portland May 2026 Voter Guide
Beyond our official endorsements, please check out our recommendations if you are having issues researching any races on your ballot.
Voter Registration Deadline is April 28, 2026
Certain May elections are considered primary races for the November general election, and therefore you must be registered as a Democrat or Republican in order to vote. That includes all of the state level races - Governor, all State House and some State Senate seats.
Metro is nonpartisan and not a primary, but if someone gets 50% +1 they will win outright in May.
Portland and Multnomah County have eliminated their May elections and will not be on this ballot.
