The Democratic Party kept their majority.[1] The Oregon Legislature does not have term limits.

Background

Democrats have held the Oregon House since 2007 and the chamber was not considered competitive in 2018.

Electoral system

The 60 members of the Oregon State House are elected from single-member districts by first-past-the-post voting to two-year terms. Contested nominations of the Democratic and Republican parties for each district were determined by an open primary election. Minor-party and independent candidates were nominated by petition and write-in candidates had to file a request with the Secretary of State's office for votes for them to be counted.
