The special election is estimated to cost the city up to $7.65 million, according to the City Clerk’s Office. A runoff, if necessary, will take place on June 27.
The Los Angeles City Council voted 10-0 on Wednesday, Nov. 2, for an ordinance that sets a special election on April 4, 2023, for the Sixth District seat vacated by Nury Martinez’ resignation.
The Sixth District — which includes central and eastern portions of the San Fernando Valley — is being overseen by a non-voting caretaker, the city’s chief legislative analyst, Sharon Tso. A non-voting caretaker does not hold a seat on the council, but oversees the council office to make sure the district provides constituent services and other basic functions.
Martinez resigned after she uttered several racial slurs in an October 2021 leaked conversation about city redistricting. Her term was set to expire in December 2024. After ejecting several protesters from the chamber Wednesday who were asking the council not to meet unless the pair both step down, Krekorian said ahead of the vote that this item was an example of why it was important for the council to keep meeting.
