The 2022 Meet The Candidates Forum will give Alhambra voters the opportunity to meet Alhambra city council candidates and provide the candidates with the chance to discuss the various issues impacting Alhambra residents. Events such as this creates a more informed electorate, improves the democratic process and elevates civic engagement in Alhambra.

This is Alhambra’s first city council election since Alhambrans overwhelmingly voted to pass Measure V in 2020. Measure V institutes a $250 campaign contribution limit on all direct contributions to city council candidates and bans direct contributions to city council candidates from developers, city contractors, and PACs. It also moves Alhambra from at-large to by-district elections and increases transparency by requiring the City of Alhambra to post all candidate campaign finance reports on their website.

The general election will be on Tuesday, November 8, 2022. For information on how to register to vote or to check your current voter registration information, please visit www.vote.org.
