Back in 2022, I wrote a post about looking for my electoral precinct and who represents me in Oregon. The original tool for “finding your legislator” has now moved to this URL. It allows the user to type in their address, then the tool displays the the Oregon House and Senate districts that cover this address. The other piece of information to find out is my voting precinct. Since Oregon votes by mail only, there are no physical precinct voting locations that could help guide this. I checked my voter registration online, but the web app did not display my voting precinct within my county (grrr!). I then checked the Marion County website and found a link to a GIS map of voting districts. I then scrolled around until I could see my address, and found the precinct via color coding (mine is 835). The state of Oregon also provides a dataset of all precincts in Oregon (downloaded the spreadsheet to take a look). My next post will try to use some of this information to look at past election results.
