LOS ANGELES—A special election to fill the Sixth District seat vacated by Nury Martinez’s resignation for her involvement in the city hall racism scandal could cost Los Angeles up to an estimated $7.65 million, the city clerk’s office said Oct. 21.
The election would take place on April 4, 2023, at the earliest, with a runoff—if necessary—taking place on June 27. The council is set to discuss calling a special election at Tuesday’s meeting and allocating $7.65 million for the two elections.
