STATEWIDE RANK CHOICE VOTING

HB 2004 creates ranked choice voting (RCV) inOregon by 1) establishing RCV elections for all state wide and federal offices, for both primary and general elections, 2) providing a local option for cities and counties to use RCV elections, and 3) helping to ensure standardized guidance and resources for county clerks.

HB 2004 does not create an open primary nor does it include state legislative races.HB 2004 paves the way for an effective, multilingual, and culturally responsive statewide voter education campaign to ensure all voters in communities across the state understand and are comfortable withRCV ballots.
