Oakland will elect a new mayor in a special election. Here's what you need to know
Briefly

Oakland is holding a special election due to the recent recall of Mayor Sheng Thao, prompting voters to select a new mayor and City Council representative.
In April, all Oakland residents will vote not only for a new mayor but also for a District 2 City Council member and potentially on a new sales tax.
Eligible voters must be Oakland residents, at least 18 years old by election day, U.S. citizens, and not serving a prison sentence for a felony.
The special election, initiated by the recall of the mayor, includes early voting from March 17 and an April 15 deadline for ballot submission.
