2018 Oregon Ballot Measure 102
affordable housing ballot initiative
Oregon Ballot Measure 102 was a ballot measure passed by voters in the November 6, 2018 general election. If passed, the measure "would allow local governments to issue bonds to pay for affordable housing projects that involve nonprofits or other nongovernmental entities".
The Oregon state legislature voted to put the measure on the ballot for voter approval and it received broad bipartisan support during the election, including from both major party candidates in the 2018 Oregon gubernatorial election, Democrat Kate Brown and then-Republican Knute Buehler. The measure also had the support of vocal opponents of an affordable housing bond that was put before Portland-area voters in the same election. It faced no major organized opposition.
Early results from election night showed that the measure passed easily, and the official results later published by the Oregon Secretary of State showed that the measure passed with 56.90% of the vote.

Why this record matters
The phrase “affordable housing ballot initiative” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 5, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60524329. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2018.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
