L.A.'s neighborhood council elections have wrapped, and the results show the lowest turnout since the city began administering the elections back in 2010.
Neighborhood councils are volunteer advisory groups that bring neighborhood-level concerns to the attention of L.A. city officials who oversee a $14 billion annual budget and represent 4 million Angelenos. This year just 7,491 ballots were cast — a 14% drop in voters from the prior elections. The elections ran on a staggered timeline from March through June.
