While the ballot order for the seven qualified candidates has been set for the June 3 special election to fill the LA Unified District 1 seat, there’s still a chance for other candidates to compete.

The City Clerk’s office today explained the way a write-in candidate could join the campaign.

Here’s how: Any write-in candidate must file a Declaration of Intention with the City Clerk-Election Division by 5 p.m. May 20.

The Declaration of Intention must include a filing fee of $300 or nominating petitions with valid signatures of at least 500 but no more than 1,000 qualified, registered voters within LAUSD, Board District 1.

(Then campaign like hell.)
