Eligible voters in the special election to fill the District 6 seat on the Los Angeles City Council can cast or drop off ballots in person at select vote centers starting Saturday, March 25.
The special election will take place April 4, but people can cast their ballots earlier, in the race to determine a replacement for former Councilmember Nury Martinez. She resigned in disgrace in October 2022 due to her role in a leaked audio scandal.
Seven candidates are on the ballot, listed in the following order: Isaac Kim, Imelda Padilla, Rose Grigoryan, Marisa Alcaraz, Antoinette Scully, Douglas Sierra and Marco Santana.
They’re vying to represent Council District 6, which serves San Fernando Valley residents in Arleta, Lake Balboa, North Hills, North Hollywood, Panorama City, Sun Valley and Van Nuys.
