“Undocumented immigrants and refugees are our family members, friends, neighbors, coworkers, fellow taxpayers and more. They deserve to have a voice in their communities through the right to vote, and encouraging civic engagement by people of many diverse backgrounds will enrich and strengthen our communities and Multnomah County government.”

— Sandy Chung, executive director for the ACLU of Oregon

(from the November 8, 2022 Oregonian article “Multnomah County voters reject voting rights for noncitizens”)

Multnomah County voters on Tuesday shot down a measure that would have extended voting rights to noncitizens to the extent legally possible.

Partial results tallied as of 9:30 a.m. Wednesday showed 58% voting against the measure and 44% voting for it.
