The 2024 Portland municipal elections will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect the mayor, city auditor and city council of Portland, Oregon. This will be the first Portland election to use ranked-choice voting (Instant-runoff voting for the mayor's position; single transferable voting for city councillors) after it was instituted by the passage of a 2022 ballot measure.

Municipal elections in Portland are officially nonpartisan, meaning that party affiliations are not listed on the ballot.

Mayor

Incumbent Democratic mayor Ted Wheeler is retiring.

City auditor

The city auditor will be elected to a two-year term in 2024, while the office will be up for election for a four-year term in 2026. Incumbent auditor Simone Rede is running for a second term. Rede was re-elected unopposed.

City council

Due to a ballot measure passed by voters in 2022, this will be the first election under Portland's new form of government. Instead of a 5-seat council, the new council will have 12 seats, all up for election. 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 single transferable vote. 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.
