Six members will run for four-year terms; six others will run for two-year terms in 2024 and will be eligible to run for a full four-year term in 2026. All members will be elected from four districts using proportional ranked-choice voting. The members will replace the outgoing five-member
Portland City Commission , which was elected using
at-large
first-past-the-post voting .
All incumbent members of the Commission are eligible to run for re-election to the City Council.
