A once solidly red state has turned purple in recent elections because of an increase in moderate to liberal voters leaving California, and an increase in voters of color that tend to lean Democrat, experts have claimed.
the Coalition of Communities of Color, Next Up Action Fund, and Oregon Ranked Choice Voting filed the Voter Choice Act, Initiative Petition 27, with the Oregon Secretary of State’s Office. The Voter Choice Act will establish ranked choice voting for all federal, statewide, and legislative races in Oregon. If approved by voters at the November 2024 election, ranked choice voting would take effect for the 2026 election cycle.
