How were the districts created?
The Independent District Commission, the community body tasked with preparing and adopting the district plan, adopted the City of Portland District Plan in late August 2023, which created the four new districts. The Commission followed state and federal districting laws and ensured that each district would, as much as possible, meet several requirements.
