Five Candidates Vying to Fill Vacant Council Seat in May 11 All-Mail Election
The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk will begin mailing ballots on April 12 to all Hermosa Beach registered voters for the City of Hermosa Beach’s upcoming all-mail Special Municipal Election to fill a vacant City Council seat.
The May 11 election will be conducted through the mail, which will help to ensure safety during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The winning candidate will serve 22 months, the remaining term of office for that seat.
Official Sample Ballot booklets, which contain the candidates’ names, occupations and statements, will be mailed to registered voters on April 20. Hermosa residents who are not registered voters must register to vote or transfer voter registration by April 26 in order to vote in the May 11 election.
Once they are registered and have received their ballot, voters can then return the ballot through the U.S. Post Office or any “bona fide” private mail delivery company.
Voters may also drop off a ballot at the Vote-By-Mail drop box located behind the Hermosa Beach library across from City Hall or at the County Registrar’s office. These ballots must be dropped off before 8 p.m. on May 11 to be counted. Any mailed ballot must arrive no later than May 14 to be counted. This date includes a three-day grace period for mail delivery.
Five candidates will appear on the May 11 ballot. The candidates and their professions are:
Counting of the ballots will begin May 13, and election results will be certified on May 24. The candidate with the most votes will be declared the winner. There will be no runoff election.
