Wanna Run For L.A. City Council? Move To Your District Of Choice Now Or Steve Cooley Will Getcha (We Have Some Recommended Digs)

​All you politicians and would-be politicos out there it's time to play that game we call musical chairs: The L.A. City Clerk warns that it's time to move to the voting district you plan to temporarily represent while you think of a better political gig.

If you don't move now, you won't just be ineligible.

You'll be in criminal trouble with District Attorney Steve Cooley for perjury and other crimes for living in the wrong district, like city Councilman Richard Alarcon (allegedly).

When the dust settles we predict more than few folks will have swapped locations in pursuit of a Los Angeles City Council or Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education seat.

The day you must (act like you) live in the voting district you desire: Oct. 9.

Even-numbered council district seats are up (PDF) in 2011, starting with the March 8 primary. The general election is May 17. Filing deadline is Nov. 13.
