Voting will be entirely by mail this election cycle. To learn how to request a ballot (between Feb 14 and April 7), and find out more about voting, visit https://clerk.lacity.gov/clerk-services/elections/neighborhood-council-elections/how-vote.
Stakeholders who live, work, or own property in the Greater Wilshire Neighborhood Council area can cast up to two votes:
- One vote for a geographic board seat
- One vote for a special interest seat or the at-large seat
Other stakeholders, i.e., those who declare an interest in the neighborhood (but do not live, work or own property) can only cast one vote for the at-large seat.
To vote in the upcoming GWNC election, you will be required to submit a drivers license (or any other picture ID with age and address) to show eligibility to vote for all board seats, including At Large. In addition, for the special interest seats (Renters, Non-Profit, Education, Religion, Business) you will be required to provide one additional piece of evidence to support your eligibility as part of that constituency. Please check the City Elections site for examples of required documentation.
