Sightline Institute ResearchFor Oregonians, Better Elections Are Hidden in Plain Sight
The state's constitution lets localities opt for methods that better reflect their mix of voters.
Common models of unstable representation
Bloc voting doesn't stack up
Numbered seats can be precarious positions
Ward voting shows the limits of district lines
The freedom to choose proportional electionsIn 2024, Democrat-endorsed candidates swept all seven seats on the Bend Oregon, city council - even though city elections are technically nonpartisan. Democrats certainly outnumber Republicans in Bend, but 20 percent of city voters are registered with the G.O.P., and many more are not affiliated or are registered with smaller parties. Those voters don't get their views represented in their city government.
In southern Oregon's Jackson County, the representation failure is reversed. Democratic or Independent candidates have won more than 40 percent of the vote for every county commissioner contest over the last five general elections - but Republicans consistently...

City voters renewed funding for their iconic democracy vouchers.
What's next: Program improvements and complementary reformsWith 57 percent in favor of Proposition 1 (and 150,000 ballots in; last updated August 7, 2025), Seattle voters have reaffirmed their commitment to advancing a more democratic city government. Seattle's iconic Democracy Voucher Program will have funding for another ten years.
This renewal means the city can continue to lead the way in the share of its population who contribute to city campaigns. Candidates will keep having more reasons to knock on doors rather than spend hours a day calling up the wealthiest people they know to fund their campaigns. And Seattle residents will get more choices in their elections and more power...
2025-08-2804 minSightline Institute Research"If One Path Is Blocked, Nature Will Find Another"
A Q&A with award-winning author John Vaillant on our new fire weather reality.
It's been a little over two years since you published Fire Weather - in other words, countless wildfires later and already well into a third "fire season" in Cascadia. Which wildfire stories have you followed most closely since? Or which have followed you?
The Sightline audience needs no convincing of the fact that climate change is driving increasingly deadly and destructive wildfires. But what are the key ways it's doing so? What does this mean for how communities experience and adapt to these wildfires compared to wildfires of the past?
Along with many analysts, we've been following the insurance industry as an "indicator species" of climate risks, watching as these corporations raise rates or pull out of markets altogether with disasters growing more frequent. It wasn't a focus of your book, but are there threads to that story you've seen that might surprise readers?

Vaillant's 2023 Pulitzer finalist book Fire Weather: On the Front Lines of a Burning World recounted the harrowing 2016 megafire in the Alberta oil town of Fort McMurray, weaving in the histories of the oil industry, climate science, and the very technology of fire in human history. His account not only won international praise; it also drove urgent conversations about our new age of ultra-destructive, climate-fueled...
2025-08-2806 minSightline Institute ResearchDemocracy Vouchers Are a Bargain
August's levy renewal offers Seattleites proven benefits to democracy for a low price.
Thoughtful budgeting for an effective programWith a miniscule portion of the city's budget, democracy vouchers deliver a whopping impact.
The program's funding is up for renewal this August, and it's a great deal. The renewal budget, $4.5 million per year in property taxes, is just 0.053 percent of the city's $8.5 billion 2025 budget. Renewal is an even smaller proportion of the budget than the original 2015 levy (which you also needed a magnifying glass to see).
That's a pretty amazing price for the program's benefits. I've already covered how democracy vouchers:

2025-07-0604 minSightline Institute ResearchIn Seattle Elections, Dark Money Follows Competition, Not Democracy Vouchers
Research finds independent spending is up in cities with and without public financing for local campaigns - and democracy vouchers are delivering on their people power promise.
Critique: Vouchers push special-interest spending out of public view
Data: Independent spending has risen throughout the US
Nuance: The indirect effect of competition
Takeaway: Democracy vouchers do tip the scales for healthier local electionsCritics of Seattle's democracy vouchers often point to one trend as evidence of the program's fallibility: a rise in local "independent expenditures." That is, dark money campaign funding vehicles like super PACs. Despite their upsides, critics say, vouchers have simply pushed millions of big-donor dollars from official campaigns into less transparent and accountable forms, rendering the program a waste of money.
Sightline led the design of the Democracy Voucher Program and has promoted and studied it for more than a decade. So, I wanted to check this accusation - and found it unwarranted.

Washington can't afford to miss the forest for the treesIn 2023, Washington state legislators attempted to make it easier to build long-distance power lines. Recognizing that more wires are essential to reaching 100 percent clean electricity - and that, quote: "transmission projects take a decade or more to develop and permit" end-quote, lawmakers directed a state agency to preemptively analyze the environmental impact of these projects.
More specifically, legislators tasked the Energy Facility Site Evaluation Council (or EFSEC) with preparing a so-called "programmatic environmental impact statement" (or PEIS) for hypothetical large transmission lines. The PEIS's purpose is to evaluate possible environmental harms of transmission lines and identify ways to mitigate...

As in most elections, Montanans have a lot of important priorities to consider this November. One contest in particular, though, is receiving outsized attention: control of the US Senate may hinge on the outcome of the race between incumbent Democrat Jon Tester and Republican Tim Sheehy. In this race, two other candidates are drawing the attention (and ire) of the major parties. Earlier in 2024, the Montana Democratic Party lost a lawsuit to remove Green Party candidate Robert Barb from the US...
2024-11-0511 minSightline Institute ResearchDespite Candidate Dropouts, Alaska Elections Are Becoming More CompetitiveA dozen candidates removed themselves from 2024's general election, but voters still have plenty to choose from.
A spate of candidates in Alaska made headlines for dropping out of November's general election. This, after running successfully in the state's nonpartisan open primaries to qualify for the general election ballot. For instance, in August Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom quit the US House race, and State Representative Jesse Sumner left his race for reelection in House District 28. In all, 12 candidates decided not to run in the general election despite advancing from the primary.
In Alaska's system, dropping out of a...

2024-11-0509 minSightline Institute ResearchCorrecting the Record on Initiative 2066What the Seattle Times editorial board got wrong about the Washington ballot measure.
On October 4, 2024, the Seattle Times editorial board encouraged its readers to vote yes on Washington Ballot Initiative 2066. That endorsement is riddled with misleading statements and omits critical facts about the issues at hand.
The endorsement focuses almost exclusively on critiquing House Bill 1589, a law passed by the state legislature in 2024. In doing so, the editorial board implies (incorrectly) that Initiative 2066 would repeal HB 1589 in its entirety. In fact, Initiative 2066 selectively takes aim at some of the most climate-friendly provisions of HB 1589, leaving much of the...

2024-10-1509 minSightline Institute ResearchVancouver Shows Just How Much It Costs to Ban ApartmentsDriving problems from inequality to sprawl to pollution, restrictions against anything but single-detached houses have to go.
Vancouver is the epicenter of British Columbia's housing crisis and shortage. So why does the city still ban new apartment buildings on most of its residential land, reserving it exclusively for low-density housing? While there have been small steps towards reforming single-detached zoning in Vancouver in recent years, apartments are still not allowed on more than three-quarters of the city's residential land.
Much the same is true in other big, expensive cities in BC and across North America. Under this decades-old...
