A special election for the District 3 seat on the San Jose City Council is set for April 8, following former Councilmember Omar Torres' resignation. Seven candidates are competing for the position, with Carl Salas temporarily filling the role until the election. The elected official will be crucial in addressing issues such as homelessness, housing, and the post-pandemic recovery of downtown. Voter registration continues until March 24, with multiple voting locations available. The election could lead to a runoff on June 24 if no candidate achieves a clear victory.
Whoever is elected will represent downtown San Jose as it works to recover and fill vacant spaces post pandemic. That official will help the city navigate homelessness and housing and a budget shortfall.
Voter registration forms are also available in multiple languages including Chinese, Spanish, Tagalog and Vietnamese.
The last day to register to vote for the special election is Monday, March 24.
