Congratulations UTLA!!! See the election results, pending challenges and certification by the UTLA Board to be official.
We have improved voter turnout. Online voting has been a success, and we look forward to continued growth in participation in the future.
There will be a run-off for the city-wide position of UTLA Treasurer. For an officer candidate to be declared the winner, they must receive a majority of the votes cast.
There will be second round elections in the East, West, Central, and Valley East areas for the Area Chair. Only voters who work in either East, West, Central, or Valley East Areas will see the Area Chair race on their ballot.
The second round of voting begins March 30 and ends April 21 at 8am. Itinerant members who didn’t fill out the Area assignment form can fill it out before the March 1 deadline and vote in the second round Area director elections.

In the event no newly elected Board of Directors member has filed as a candidate for Area Chairperson, all four (4) newly elected Board of Directors names shall appear on the ballot for the office of Area Chairperson and shall be candidates for that office unless only one of the four newly elected Directors chooses to run and the other three decline the nomination. In that case, that person shall be declared the winner without balloting. If only one of the elected four directors has declared for Area Chair in their original declaration, that person shall be declared the winner without balloting.
