What are Neighborhood Councils?
Los Angeles’ 99 Neighborhood Councils form the grassroots level of the Los Angeles City government and are led by NC board members made up of community stakeholders. NC board members adhere to the same rules and regulations as Los Angeles city government employees.
Who is eligible to run or vote in the Woodland Hills – Warner Center Neighborhood Council election?
People from the community who live, work or own a business, own real estate property, or have a stake within the WHWCNC boundary (e.g. attend church, school, community organization, etc.). Please note that the WHWCNC is divided into 7 areas and applicants and/or voters must qualify in the corresponding areas that are currently up for election.
How do I know if I am a stakeholder in one of the areas that is partaking in the 2025 NC Election?
