Redistricting
In Oregon, congressional and state legislative district lines are drawn by the state legislature. District lines are subject to veto by the governor.[9]
If the legislature fails to establish a redistricting plan for state legislative districts, it falls to the secretary of state to draw the boundaries.[9]
State law requires that congressional and state legislative districts meet the following criteria:[9]
- Districts must be contiguous.
- Districts must "utilize existing geographic or political boundaries."
- Districts should not "divide communities of common interest."
- Districts should "be connected by transportation links."
- Districts "must not be drawn for the purpose of favoring a political party, incumbent or other person."
Gov. Kate Brown (D) signed new state legislative maps into law on September 27, 2021. The maps were approved by the Oregon House of Representatives, 31-18, and approved in the Oregon State Senate 18-11.[10] These maps took effect for Oregon’s 2022 legislative elections.
