Where and How to Vote in the Studio City Neighborhood Council Elections

You do not have to be a registered voter, and you may be able to vote in more than one race.

It’s election year, and that applies to the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council system as well.

This is not your typical election, and you don't have to be a registered voter to vote. You just have to be a "Stakeholder" in Studio City (see what that means here.)

The Studio City Neighborhood Council (SCNC) will hold board elections on Thursday, September 20 at from 2:30 pm – 8:30 pm.

Walter Reed Middle School
4525 Irvine Avenue
North Hollywood, CA 91602

As a Stakeholder, you can qualify for multiple stakeholder categories and vote for more than one ballot. All voters will receive an At-Large ballot. The SCNC has 16 elected Board seats and there are 7 different Board categories.

For example, if you work at (only the one in Studio City) you can vote in the EMPLOYEES/INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS race and in the AT-LARGE race, even if you do not live or own property in the area.

If you are at least 18 years of age on the day of the election who legally provides goods or services for compensation in Studio City and maintain a City business license or owns business real property in Studio City you can vote in the BUSINESS OWNER category and the AT-LARGE race.

You do not have to be a registered voter to participate.

ok. have now spent some time navigating the new patch. i hope everyone will give it a chance. it'sRead More growing on me. i think once everyone is more familiar with the new version they'll like it too.

@MikeSzymanski I must admit that I haven't been able to detect a new format. Where is the format?Read More Who designed this? All I can tell is that there is a beautiful shot of trees -- perfect! Under that banner all hell breaks lose and you can't tell what you're looking it. There might be a huge blowup of Mr. Walker or a too big notice of something official-looking -- possibly an agenda. I have not been able to navigate through all the stuff. Lots of white space on either side which gives me impression that we're tailoring a community paper more toward an iphone or smart phone (or a tablet). Maybe I need a GPS to find a good list of contents here. In the meantime, it's not very attractive (exception for the banner trees photo) nor entertaining and not very informative. Scotty Reston, where are you now that we need you?

the picture selected is nice and it well suits the page. it would be nice to see the full pic. tooRead More bad so much of it is blocked from the top portion of the content....any chance of seeing the full picture and starting the content beneath it?

I find this very disconcerting. Mel Randall who is on the Land Use Committee was asked to submit hisRead More name. We assumed qualifications would be checked and then those best suited would be chosen. Two entries of the same name is in itself so bad makes me feel that all of this should be redone.

I was at the meeting last night and saw all I need to see on how our neighborhood council work. TheyRead More had a drawing for the grievance panel. WHAT A SHAM!! They drew 1 guys name twice and rather than stop the proceedings and make sure that the names in the hat were legitimate and no other duplicates exist and redo the drawing, they just drew another name. Now it probably was just a fluke but the appearance of a rigged drawing is there and it taints the whole council and it proceedings. It is very apparent why we need a grievance panel in the first place. When the appearance of corruption exists at the lowest levels of our democratic process it is no wonder that the whole system is collapsing before our eyes. Our neighborhood council should hang their heads in shame!
