2019 Neighborhood Council Elections Season Opens in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The first candidate filing period began December 16, 2018. Neighborhood Council elections will be held from late March to mid-June. LA's 99 Neighborhood Councils form the grassroots level of the Los Angeles City government. The Neighborhood Councils EmpowerLA system was established in 1999 to connect their communities to City Hall. The Neighborhood Councils advocate on issues like homelessness, land use, housing, emergency preparedness, sustainability, aging, youth programs, transportation, and parks. While Neighborhood Council board members are volunteers, they are public officials elected by the members of their community. Most board members serve two-year terms; a few Neighborhood Councils have four-year terms. For more information, visit http://EmpowerLA.org/GetInvolved.
