Special Districts Election Outcome

The Umpqua Transportation District board will soon certify the election of duly elected Natasha Atkinson soon, as advised by their attorney. First, there are a few other chores they must do; for one thing, contact the Douglas County Commissioners. The Special Districts election was held back in May of this year. The election has been verified as accurate by the Secretary of State’s office.

A UTD board meeting was held on Monday, Aug. 18, 2025 at 5:30PM at the UTD office at 516 SE Jackson. A number of League members and others concerned met to submit public comments encouraging the board to certify the person who won the election. Many are concerned about the budget cuts as people rely on transit services for many reasons. The Legislature is going to meet at a Special Session on Aug. 29 to discuss transportation issues around the state.

Thank you to all members who attended the meeting!

LWV Oregon Endorsed HB 2004

The League of Women Voters Oregon recently endorsed Oregon House Bill 2004 which establishes Rank Choice Voting (RCV) elections for all statewide and federal offices, for both primary and general elections with three or more candidates. It also provides a local option for cities and counties to use RCV elections and helps to ensure standardized implementation for county clerks.

As the sponsors point out, this particular bill does not establish open primaries, nor does it include the Oregon Legislature.

According to LWVOR study reports, Rank Choice Voting is one of the best methods for leading to more reflective outcomes and improving representation. It also has proven success – having been used or adopted in over 60 jurisdictions across the U.S., including four in our own state.
