Los Angeles City Clerk: Paper candidate applications for neighborhood council seats available in 13 languages
Summary
The Los Angeles City Clerk—9s Elections Division announced that paper candidate application forms for neighborhood council board seats are available in 13 languages and can be submitted by mail, email, or dropped off; applicants must show how they qualify as a stakeholder for the council seat.
A staff member with the Los Angeles City Clerk—9s Elections Division said paper candidate application forms for neighborhood council board seats are available in 13 languages on clerk.lacity.gov and at select city libraries and recreation centers.
The announcement explained why the forms matter: many potential candidates prefer or require a paper option rather than completing the online application. The division said applicants may complete the form on a computer, print it and submit it by mail, email or drop it off at the Clerk—9s office.
According to the announcement, applicants must provide the name of the neighborhood council and the seat they seek and must demonstrate how they qualify as a stakeholder with an address inside the council boundaries. Examples of qualifying relationships listed in the announcement include living, working, owning property, or having other community interests within the neighborhood council boundaries; applicants must provide the address associated with that status. The second page of the form provides space for a candidate statement; attaching a photograph is optional and may be added or updated later. All candidates must sign the Neighborhood Council Leadership Orientation board service pledge, the announcement said.
The Elections Division directed people to the Clerk—9s website for regional filing deadlines and additional instructions. Contact information and filing deadlines were provided during the announcement and are available on clerk.lacity.gov.
Less critical details: the announcement referenced the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment—9s online council finder as a resource to identify a council and its boundaries. No motions, votes, or formal actions were recorded in the transcript excerpt.
