Congrats to Culver City Democratic Club endorsed LACCD Board candidates Andra Hoffman, Sydney Kamlager, Scott Svonkin and Mike Fong!

The following results of the March 3rd election are from LA City’s final bulletin from March 4th @ 1:32AM. Culver City voting precincts have been included in the overall LA City results so we won’t know how Culver City voted until the full results are released later in March. We do know who won and what the turnout has been.

Voter turnout was 8.62% within the City of LA and 5.49% outside the City of LA. 54% of all voters used Vote-by-Mail.
