FAQ:
​
Q: How will voting work?
A: You'll show up, find your district, affirm your stakeholder status, and get a ballot that includes both your district and the at-large community interest candidates.
​
Q: Affirm stakeholder status? What does that mean?
A: Only stakeholders age 16 or older can vote in the LFNC election — that means you live, work, own property or belong to a community organization with a postal address — not P.O. Box — within the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council boundaries. You'll affirm under the penalty of perjury that you are a stakeholder at this address.
​
Q: Do I need ID?
A: No, LFNC uses "self-affirmation," because we know that the neighborhood council is strongest when we remove barriers to participation, and trust our neighbors.
​
Q: Do I have to register?
A: You register at the same time you get your ballot, by self-affirmation of stakeholder status.
​
Q: What's this I hear about a "selection" versus an "election"?
A: Because the City Clerk of Los Angeles only offered vote-by-mail for the neighborhood council election process, we chose to return to the "selection" process we've used in prior years. The difference is that we can have in-person voting with a "selection," and that voter stakeholder status can be disclosed upon a valid California Public Records Act request.
Q: If not the City Clerk, who's counting the ballots?
A: We've hired Raquel Centeno, an expert on local elections from USC, to be our Neutral Third Party.
