Turnout key in Assembly race

A small turnout could play a big role Tuesday in an east San Fernando Valley special election for the California Assembly. Kevin Modesti in the Daily News.

Because it's the only matter on the ballot, less than 20 percent of eligible voters are expected to take part in the election to fill the 43rd Assembly District seat left vacant since Democrat Paul Krekorian moved on to the Los Angeles City Council.

Democrats Mike Gatto, Nayiri Nahabedian and Chahe Keuroghelian and Republican Sunder Ramani are competing for the seat representing parts of San Gabriel, Burbank and North Hollywood.
