Welcome to Election 2014.

Here we will concentrate on Oregon's races, from statewide races for governor and for U.S. Senate and House, to local races for the Legislature as well as mayors and city councils.

If you're looking to follow the national races, we have you covered here.

Update at 12:25 p.m.: The Measure 92 race remains too close to call. 110,000 remain to be counted in Multnomah County, which is leaning strongly for the ballot measure.

Check back at OregonLive in the morning for the latest.

Update at 11:53 p.m.: We are waiting for another update of results on Measure 92, the GMO labeling measure. Voters throughout rural Oregon opposed the initiative, but those in Multnomah, Lane, Benton and Jackson counties gave it early support.

Spending for and against the Measure 92 shattered records for campaign spending on ballot measures. Opponents contributed more than $20 million, and supporters raised more than $8 million.

Update at 8:20 p.m.: Gov. John Kitzhaber wins a fourth term. Kitzhaber had many strikes against him, including the conduct of his fiancee, Cylvia Hayes.

Update at 8 p.m.: Here comes the flood of election results.

First race called: Sen. Jeff Merkley wins re-election to the U.S. Senate.

Early result for Measure 92 -- GMOs -- are strong in Lane County.

Measure 90 -- top two -- failing in early returns

On the PPS measure, voters first approved the five-year levy in 2011, agreeing to pay $1.99 per $1,000 of assessed value to help pay for teachers and other expenses. The levy was scheduled to expire in 2016, but voters, in essence, are agreeing to extend the levy at its current rate until 2020.

More results:

Beaverton public safety center bond appears to be failing. It would rebuild the former Griffith Drive City Hall building into a public safety center.

Tigard-Tualatin School District levy approved in a landslide.

Portland's $68 million parks bond is approved. It will repair and improve parks and city facilities from tennis courts to Pioneer Courthouse Square.

Update at 5:30 p.m.: The Oregonian's Steve Duin went to Milwaukie on Tuesday to talk to voters. He writes: "But whatever their issue, whatever their politics, each one of these voters reached past the limit of their cynicism when they reached out to slip their ballot into the silver box."

Have you voted yet? As of Monday, of Multnomah County's 448,000 voters had returned 195,000 ballots. The Oregonian is projecting that when all ballots are filled out, dropped off and tallied, about 300,000 Multnomah voters will have voted. Statewide, out of the 2.2 million registered voters, 48.80 percent, or 1,068,889, have returned ballots so far.

Among the interesting aspects of this year's midterm election is the amount of money flowing into the state, even at the last minute. No on 92 picked up a $1.35 million from Monsanto, bringing its contributions to the campaign against the measure to require labeling of genetically altered foods to nearly $6 million.
