Two Oregon cities and Idaho vote on psilocybin-related measures November 3

What's on the ballot?

Redmond, Oregon

On August 11, 2026, the Redmond City Council voted 6-1 to send voters a two-year extension of the city's moratorium on psilocybin service centers. Without it, the ban would expire at the end of 2026.² A yes vote extends the moratorium; a no vote ends it and would let licensed service centers open in Redmond. Redmond voters backed the moratorium with 53% in 2022 and 55% in 2024.³ This is the city's third psilocybin vote in five years.²

Reedsport, Oregon

Reedsport's ballot asks: "Should electors ban the establishment of psilocybin related businesses within the City of Reedsport?" A yes vote makes the ban permanent; a no vote allows psilocybin businesses to operate. Voters approved a temporary two-year ban in November 2022, and in November 2024 the city passed Ordinance 2024-1215 to make the ban permanent. It now goes to voters under ORS 475A.718, the state law that lets a city council refer such a ban to the ballot.¹

Idaho, HJR 4

Idaho voters decide whether to amend Section 26, Article III of the state constitution so that "only the legislature" has the power to legalize marijuana, narcotics or "other psychoactive substances," from production and sale through possession and use.⁴ The legislature put it on the ballot in 2025: the House passed it 58-10 on March 5 and the Senate 29-6 on March 11.⁵ The text never names psilocybin; it would reach psilocybin through the words "other psychoactive substances."⁴

No statewide psilocybin legalization measure is on any state's ballot this year, according to a review by the legal news site Mind Medicine Law dated October 12, 2026.⁹

Why does it matter if you're looking for a mushroom dispensary?

Apart from patient-only programs, Oregon's service centers and Colorado's healing centers are the only state-licensed places where adults can use psilocybin, and even in Oregon, cities and counties can vote to keep centers out. A city council may refer an ordinance banning licensed psilocybin manufacturers, service centers or both to its voters under ORS 475A.718.⁶ In November 2022, 137 opt-out measures passed across Oregon, 17 of them temporary two-year moratoriums.⁷ In November 2024, bans were on the ballot in 17 places, and they passed in 16, Redmond among them.⁸ So in Oregon, whether a licensed center can open near you depends partly on local votes like these. Our Oregon guide and our guide to licensed psilocybin centers explain what those centers are and are not.

A no vote in Redmond or Reedsport would not create a dispensary. It would only allow businesses licensed under Oregon's psilocybin program, such as service centers where clients use psilocybin on site with a licensed facilitator. Idaho's HJR 4 points the other way: on its face, it would leave the legislature as the only body able to legalize psychoactive substances, so a citizen initiative could not.

When will results be known?

Unofficial results start posting on election night, Tuesday, November 3, 2026, from Deschutes County (Redmond), Douglas County (Reedsport) and Idaho's counties and Secretary of State. Counting continues for days in close races, and counties certify final results in the weeks after the election. We will add the results to this post, with links to the official counts, once they are posted. For the legal picture state by state, see are mushroom dispensaries legal?
