The Los Angeles City Clerk this morning finished its signature verification process on nominating petitions. (James T. Law was the last candidate to be checked -- his petitions had an insufficient number of valid signatures, bumping him from the competition.)

la city seal.jpgEleven candidates will appear on the Nov. 8 special election ballot. If no one receives more than 50 percent of the vote, a runoff will be held in January.

The race (which is nonpartisan) is to fill the Harbor-to-Watts seat on the L.A. City Council that was left vacant when Janice Hahn won election to Congress this summer.

The candidates (in the order they will appear on the primary ballot):

  1. Frank Pereyda
  2. Jayme Wilson
  3. Gordon Teuber
  4. Joe Buscaiono
  5. Justin I. Brimmer 
  6. Rebecca Chambliss
  7. Pat McOsker
  8. Warren Furutani
  9. M. "Candice" Graham
  10. Rudy Svorinich Jr.
  11. John. M. Delgado Jr.

la city seal.jpgWe're still waiting for the Los Angeles City Clerk to verify petition signatures on four remaining candidates (the Clerk's Office has until Sept. 22, but everyone's hoping they'll be able to wrap it up by the end of the day Friday). 

We still have a little bit of news for you, though.

City officials today conducted the random drawing that determines the order in which candidates will appear on the Nov. 8 special election ballot. (The order is determined by holding a random drawing of the letters of the alphabet.)

So here it is (the four candidates still awaiting verification are in parentheses):

  1. (James T. Law)
  2. Frank Pereyda
  3. Jayme Wilson
  4. Gordon Teuber
  5. Justin I. Brimmer
  6. Joe Buscaino
  7. Rebecca Chambliss
  8. Pat McOsker
  9. (Kambiz "Mostofi" Mostofizadeh)
  10. (Robert Farrell)
  11. Warren Furutani
  12. (M. "Candice" Graham)
  13. Rudy Svorinich Jr.
  14. John M. Delgado Jr.

****Regular updates -- CD15: Today's the day

****8 p.m.: Ok, so this is where it stands:
 
7 candidates qualified (Buscaino, Chambliss, Furutani, McOsker, Svorinich, Teuber and Wilson); 

7 more candidates pending (petitions turned in, awaiting signature verifications). They are Frank Pereyda, Kambiz "Mostofi" Mostofizadeh, M. "Candice" Graham, James T. Law, Justin I. Brimmer, John M. Delgado Jr. and Robert Ferrell.



***6 p.m.: An after-hours worker at the City Clerk's Office told me tonight (30 minutes after the office closed) that other candidate hopefuls came in before closing time and were still being processed, but no names or numbers were being released immediately. There should be an update on the City Clerk's website by morning, but a firm list of who will qualify for the ballot will depend on signature verification and may not be determined for another couple days.

***Deadline is 5 p.m. today; lists below are being updated as new information is posted by the City Clerk (verification of signatures for petitions being turned in today may take an addition 24-48 hours beyond the deadline):

****Candidates officially qualified for the Nov. 8 ballot (listed in alphabetical order):

  • Joe Buscaino
  • Rebecca Chambliss
  • Warren Furutani
  • Pat McOsker
  • Rudy Svorinich Jr.
  • Jayme Wilson

_____________________________________________________

****Candidates who have turned in petitions but are still awaiting signature verifications:

  • Gordon Teuber

***Update: Rebecca Chambliss and Rudy Svorinich Jr. have just been qualified for the ballot. A seventh candidate, meanwhile -- Gordon Teuber -- has also turned in his petition signatures, all just before noon today.

Earlier posts:

Candidates have until 5 p.m. today to turn in their nominating petitions to run in the Nov. 8 special election to fill Janice Hahn's Los Angeles City Council seat.

So far, four of the 20 candidates have been qualified for the ballot by the City Clerk's Office: Joe Buscaino, Warren Furutani, Pat McOsker, and Jayme Wilson.

Rebecca Chambliss and Rudy Svorinich Jr. also have turned in petitions are are awaiting verification of signatures.

So will the race dwindle down to just six -- or at least under 10? We'll see how many petitions get turned in this afternoon.

You can track today's deadline progress yourself at the City Clerk's filing status page.

CD15: A third candidate qualifies for Nov. 8 special election

Jayme Wilson qualified for the ballot today in the Nov. 8 special election race to represent the Harbor-to-Watts district on the Los Angeles City Council.

Joe Buscaino and Pat McOsker also have been qualified for the ballot after the City Clerk's la city seal.jpgoffice verified their respective 500 nominating petition signatures.

Candidate Rebecca Chambliss also turned in her petitions earlier this week but was found to be 53 signatures short in the verification process. She's picked up supplemental petitions and will be attempting to make up the difference before Monday's 5 p.m. deadline.

That leaves 16 candidates who filed paperwork to run who are still busy putting their petition signatures together. Many will likely be turned in Friday to allow for some wiggle room in case they, too, come up short. We'll keep you posted. We're anticipating having a final ballot list by Tuesday or Wednesday next week at the latest.
