Election for City Council Seat in District 5 Set for April 15th

Turning the page on 2024, we can finally put the seemingly endless elections in the rearview mirror and have a year ahead without overblown rhetoric, overstuffed mailboxes and garish signs everywhere, right? Well … not quite.

Residents of Irvine’s Council District 5 — which includes Woodbridge, Westpark, University Park and Rancho San Joaquin — brace yourselves.

Since Councilmember Larry Agran was elevated to Mayor last month in the middle of his Council term, there will be a special election on April 15th to determine who will serve the last two years of Agran’s term, representing District 5.

In accordance with Measure D — the City Charter Amendment, adopted by Irvine voters last March to expand the City Council and transition to district elections — special election ballots to fill the vacancy in District 5 will be sent only to registered voters in the district.

A New Era Dawns in Irvine with a New City Council

Irvine’s first City Council with more than five members took office on December 10th in front of a celebratory overflow crowd at the Irvine City Council Chamber.

New Mayor Larry Agran, re-elected Councilmember Mike Carroll, and new Councilmembers William Go, Melinda Liu and James Mai took their oaths and joined incumbent Councilmember Kathleen Treseder on the Council dais.

These six Councilmembers will be joined by a seventh and final colleague after a special election next April 15th to fill the Council seat vacated by Agran upon his elevation to Mayor.

It is the first seven-member Council — with six Councilmembers elected by district and the Mayor elected by a citywide vote — in the City’s history. It’s a change approved by Irvine’s voters in the March primary election this year.
