Thursday is the last day to mail in ballots for the upcoming special election in Portland, according to Multnomah County Elections.
The election, happening Tuesday, Aug. 11, will determine the winner in the runoff to fill the seat on the Portland City Council previously held by Commissioner Nick Fish. Fish died of cancer earlier this year.
The two candidates are Loretta Smith, a former Multnomah County Commissioner, and Dan Ryan, the former head of the education nonprofit All Hands Raised.
