Municipal elections in Oregon are non-partisan. The non-partisan primary was held on Tuesday, May 15, 2012.[3] As no candidate received an outright majority of the vote in the primary, the top two finishers—former city commissioner Charlie Hales and state representative Jefferson Smith—advanced to a runoff in the November 6 general election.[4] In the general election, Hales received approximately 61% of the vote.[5]
