DLANC Seat Descriptions

The Downtown Neighborhood Council (DLANC) along with LA’s 98 other Neighborhood Councils, form the grassroots level of the City’s government. While DLANC board members serve their community without pay, they are public officials elected by the stakeholders of their community.

The DLANC Board of Officers is composed of 24 elected Downtown Stakeholders, all of which are up for election every two years. The election is conducted by the Los Angeles City Clerk’s Office. You may vote In-Person or Vote-by-Mail.

Immigration status or previous convictions will not affect any qualified Stakeholder’s ability to vote in these elections. Anyone who is currently unhoused and sleeping within the Downtown NC boundaries, is also eligible to vote.
