The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors consists of five members who collectively govern the most populous county in the United States. All five supervisors serve 4-year terms, with elections staggered so that Districts 2, 4, and 5 are up for election in one cycle (2024), while Districts 1 and 3 are up in another cycle (2026).
