The 2023 Los Angeles special election will be held on April 4, 2023 with a runoff on June 27, 2023 if necessary.[1] Voters will elect a candidate in a nonpartisan primary, with runoff elections potentially scheduled. One of the fifteen seats on the Los Angeles City Council is up for election due to the vacancy of one member, councilwoman Nury Martinez of District 6, who resigned in the wake of the 2022 Los Angeles City Council scandal.[2] Sharon Tso was installed as a caretaker to the district, but no formal appointment has been made.[3]City AttorneyMike Feuer has also proposed that a special election be held on a referendum to replace the Council's ability to redraw the City Council districts with an independent commission to redraw the districts before the 2024 elections.[4]
