The 2022 Los Angeles elections were held on June 7, 2022. Voters elected candidates in a nonpartisan primary, with runoff elections scheduled for November 8, 2022. Eight of the fifteen seats in the City Council were up for election while three of the seven seats in the LAUSD Board of Education were up for election.[1] The seat of Mayor of Los Angeles was up for election due to incumbent Eric Garcetti's term limit.[2] The seats of the Los Angeles City Controller and the Los Angeles City Attorney were also up for election, as their incumbents, Mike Feuer and Ron Galperin, were running for mayor and California State Controller respectively.[3][4]

Municipal elections in California are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.
