Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council Elections

Neighborhood Councils are a hyperlocal form of government that work to ensure the City of Los Angeles is responsive to the needs, challenges, and aspirations of YOUR neighborhood. The Neighborhood Council system was designed with representation at its center. Unlike many other elected positions, the Neighborhood Council system is open to those who are system impacted, non-US citizens, unhoused neighbors, and young people in the community.
