(NewsNation) — Oregon voters will head to the polls Tuesday to cast their ballots in some pivotal races in the 2024 general election.
Presidential race in Oregon
Vice President Kamala Harris is projected to win Oregon.
US House races in Oregon
In addition to voting in the race for the White House between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Oregon residents will also be voting on a critical U.S. House race that could determine which party holds the majority.
In the state’s Congressional 5th District, Democratic challenger Janelle Bynum defeated Republican first-term Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer.
Bynum is seeking to move to federal office after serving four terms in the Oregon House of Representatives.
Incumbent Democrat Rep. Andrea Salinas is projected to win reelection in the Oregon Congressional District 6 race, according to NewsNation / Decision Desk HQ. Salinas faced a rematch of her 2022 election when she is challenged by businessman Mike Erickson.
Statewide ballot measures in Oregon
Voters will also consider a list of ballot measures Tuesday, including one to allow the state House of Representatives to impeach statewide officials.
Another measure would establish ranked-choice voting in the state, which allows voters to rank the candidates rather than choose one.
On Tuesday, 468 U.S. congressional seats (33 Senate seats and all 435 House seats) are up for election.
Polls closed at 8 p.m. local time in Oregon, which holds eight electoral votes after previously having seven.
After voting strictly Republican through 1984, Oregon has gone blue in every presidential election since 1988. President Joe Biden defeated Trump by 16.5 percentage points in 2020.
