Why is there an election on April 8?

    This special primary election is to fill the vacant seat in the County’s First Supervisorial District for the remainder of the current term ending in January 2029. If no candidate receives a majority vote in the primary election, the top two vote-getters will move on to the special general election on July 1, 2025.
