What's on the ballot?

City of West Linn Councilor (Two Positions)

This election was originally scheduled for November 2022 but due to an error in directions on the ballot; the Secretary of State directed the City of West Linn to postpone the city council contest until March. The March 14, 2023 Special Election is being conducted exactly as it would have been in November, with the same filed candidates and the same candidate statements in the Voters’ Pamphlet. Only voters who live in the City of West Linn will receive a ballot.
