Gov.Kate Brown (D) signed new state legislative maps into law on September 27, 2021. The maps were approved by theOregon House of Representatives, 31-18, and approved in theOregon State Senate 18-11.[7] These maps took effect for Oregon’s 2022 legislative elections.

How does redistricting in Oregon work? In Oregon, congressional and state legislative district lines are drawn by thestate legislature. District lines are subject to veto by thegovernor.[8]

If the legislature fails to establish a redistricting plan for state legislative districts, it falls to thesecretary of state to draw the boundaries.[8]

State law requires that congressional and state legislative districts meet the following criteria:[8]

  • 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."
