PORTLAND, Ore. — Tuesday marks Election Day for Oregon's 2024 primary, where most races will set up which candidates from each party will compete in the November general election. In a few local races, a candidate may clinch the election outright.
The first round of results will be posted shortly after the ballot box drop-off deadline of 8 p.m. Tuesday night.
