Voter Information

How to Vote

What’s new this year?

• The minimum age to vote is 16 years old.
• Neighborhood Council elections are doing hybrid in-person and Vote-By-Mail this year.
• You may request a Vote-By-Mail ballot by June 3, 2023 or vote in person on Election Day June 22, 2023.

To Vote-by-Mail, you must apply to receive a ballot – this is different from your voter registration in federal, state, and other local elections.

You can also vote in person on election day, June 22, 2023, without pre-registering.

Who can vote?

Anyone over 16 who has a stake in Toluca Lake is eligible to vote! That means if you live, work, own real property, or declare a stake in the neighborhood by participating in a Community Organization in Toluca Lake, you have a stake in our community and you’re eligible to vote.

To qualify, a Community Organization must have continuously maintained a physical street address for not less than one year in Toluca Lake and performs ongoing activities and operations that benefit the neighborhood. A for-profit entity shall not qualify as a Community Organization.
