2024 LAUSD Elections

Los Angeles Candidates File To Run In March Primary

The filing period closes with 26 people declaring their intention to run for seats on LAUSD’s School Board. Next step: signature gathering.

“Especially in local elections, because hardly anybody pays attention to those — but it’s really important who’s mayor and who’s on the city council, county commissioners, sheriffs, district attorney, and of course the school board.”

Alongside the Presidential, Senatorial, and House candidates on the ballot for the primary election on March 5, 2024, will be those running for seats on the Los Angeles City Council and Los Angeles Unified School Board. These “non-partisan” elections are run in a jungle format. If any of the candidates wins over 50% of the vote, then they will be declared the winner and will be sworn into office at the beginning of the next term. Otherwise, the top two vote-getters will face each other in the November General Election.
