About the Charter Review 

The Multnomah County Home Rule Charter is the local version of a constitution. It establishes the governance framework for the County and describes the structure, organization, and powers of the county government. 

As a governance document, the charter provides the foundation for how Multnomah County operates. The charter can only be amended through voter approval. The last time the charter was updated was in 2022. Learn more about the County Charter and charter review!
