All voters, regardless of registration status in city, state, and federal elections, must register separately to vote in neighborhood council elections. Even those who have previously registered to vote in a neighborhood council election are required to register again for this election to receive a vote by mail ballot. THERE IS NO IN-PERSON VOTING ON ELECTION DAY.
Eligibility to vote in HCNNC’s election varies for each board seat, and is outlined in HCNNC’s bylaws (on pages 24-25). In general, if you are a stakeholder in the Chinatown area (such as a resident, property owner, business owner, etc.), you are eligible to vote for all of the Chinatown seats in this election and the At-Large seat. You would receive a “Chinatown ballot” in the mail. If you are a stakeholder in the Victor Heights area, you are eligible to vote for all of the Victor Heights seats in this election and the At-Large seat, etc. To see the boundaries of the 4 districts within HCNNC’s service area, visit hcnnc.org/boundaries.
NOTE: You can only vote on one ballot. For example, if you are a resident in Victor Heights, but work in Chinatown, you are eligible to vote using a Victor Heights ballot or a Chinatown ballot, but you cannot vote in both areas. You must choose one.

About Neighborhood Councils
Neighborhood Councils are a hyperlocal form of government that work to ensure the City of Los Angeles is responsive to the needs, challenges, and aspirations of YOUR neighborhood.
The Neighborhood Council system was designed with representation at its center. Unlike many other elected positions, the Neighborhood Council system is open to those who are system impacted, non-US citizens, unhoused neighbors, and young people in the community.
Neighborhood Council Board Members are volunteers. As a Neighborhood Council Board Member, you will have the opportunity to advocate for issues that matter most to you and your neighbors, advise your City Councilmember and other City leaders, and contribute to positive change in your community.
