Location is everything for the 2016 Neighborhood Council Elections. As a Neighborhood Council Board, you are responsible for the following three steps:

1. Selecting an appropriate location – work with your IEA and make sure it’s ADA compliant, has plenty of parking, and has sufficient room to support a large voter turnout
2. Reserving the location and completing the paperwork (LAUSD – work with Funding to complete the paperwork)
2. Submit the invoice to EmpowerLA.Funding@LACity.org attn: Man-Qin He, Sr. Accountant for payment. The Department will pay the bill and charge the Neighborhood Council for any amount over $200. Please indicate on the invoice if your NC has already paid the submitted invoice.

Most importantly, start planning now so that your location turns into a highly visible, well signed, attractive event that draws voters in and results in a meaningful election experience. Imagine hosting an engaging community event and having an election break out!
