Alhambra’s November 3 Council Ballot: Districts 1, 2 and 5 Have Different Candidate Lists

ALHAMBRA, Los Angeles County — October 23, 2026. A dated official city record documents this development. California58 Local explains the practical implications while separating announced plans and ballot questions from completed actions and future election results.

Which candidates qualified?

The city clerk’s published list identifies Amy J. Wong and Ron Sahu for the District 1 council seat. Ross J. Maza is listed for District 2. District 5’s list includes Alejandro Covarrubias, Adele Andrade Stadler and Melissa Michelson. These are official candidate-filing records, not a newspaper endorsement or prediction of the result.

Why might a neighbor see different names?

Alhambra elects city council members by district. A registered voter’s specific residence determines which local district contest appears on the sample ballot, so residents should check the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder’s address-based resources rather than relying on ZIP code alone. Statewide and county contests are separate.

What languages are available?

The city election page links nominee notices in English, Chinese, Spanish, Vietnamese, Tagalog, Korean and Japanese. Residents who need help reading ballot materials should use official county election language services rather than unofficial social-media screenshots.

What deadlines matter now?

November 3 is Election Day. Anyone uncertain about registration status, same-day conditional registration, vote centers or ballot return rules should consult the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder. Candidate statements should be read as candidates’ own submissions.
