Read the guideCandidate filing, election administration, and ethics have separate owners
Los Angeles has 15 council districts and separately elected citywide Mayor, City Attorney, and Controller offices. The city is not the same jurisdiction as Los Angeles County or the school district. Municipal candidate and petition filing remain City Clerk activities, while the county conducts most municipal election functions.
Prepare the local office record
Use the City Ethics Commission's resources for the campaign-finance workstream and the City Clerk's resources for candidate filing. The service brief should name the campaign's reviewer and actual office before discussing formats or volume; one administrative reference does not replace the others.
