At Convention 2021, LWV of Portland proposed a restudy of LWVOR's 2016 Election Methods Study. It would examine the STAR voting system and would last one year or less. The goal would be to inform League members about the benefits and limitations of the STAR voting option that is being promoted by a group of advocates. It would also be to determine whether or not the League could support or should oppose the adoption of STAR voting in Oregon.
The LWVOR Board adopted this completed restudy on February 10th, 2023. You can find the downloadable copy of the study here.
In May 2023, LWVOR issued a statement regarding STAR (Score Then Automatic Runoff) Voting.
