The 2023 Los Angeles special election was held on April 4, 2023 with a runoff occurring on June 27, 2023.^[1] Voters will elect a candidate in a nonpartisan primary, with runoff elections potentially scheduled. One of the fifteen seats on the Los Angeles City Council was up for election due to the vacancy of one member, councilwoman Nury Martinez of District 6, who resigned in the wake of the 2022 Los Angeles City Council scandal.^[2] Sharon Tso was installed as a caretaker to the district, but no formal appointment was made.^[3] There was potential for a recall over Kevin de León's statements made during the 2022 Los Angeles City Council scandal as well, though due to the lack of signatures turned in by the deadline on April 1, 2023, the petition to recall de León failed.^[4]^[5] Former City Attorney Mike Feuer also proposed that a special election be held on a referendum to replace the Council's ability to redraw the City Council districts with an independent commission before the 2024 elections.^[6]

Municipal elections in California are officially nonpartisan, and candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.
