Beverly Hills Standard Launches New Election Center

The Beverly Hills Standard has launched its new Election Center, bringing candidate profiles, campaign filings, voting dates and local election history together in one place for Beverly Hills voters.

The center's current election page covers the November 3, 2026 Beverly Hills Unified School District Board of Education race. All five candidates are listed: Jackie R. Kruger, David Cienfuegos, Kimberly Lifschitz, Jared Gonzales and Judith Manouchehri. The page also identifies how many candidates voters may select, with up to two choices in this year's school board contest.

Individual profiles put campaign websites, contact information, ballot positions and committee details within easy reach. Readers can review candidate statements where available, follow campaign social links and view endorsements on profiles that include them. That gives residents a direct way to examine candidates' stated priorities and contact their campaigns with questions.

The center also provides access to campaign filing PDFs, including documents listed as Forms 410, 460 and 501. Committee identification numbers link to California's Cal-Access system for verification. Voters can open the available filings from a candidate's profile and read the documents themselves.

A "Plan your vote" section organizes important dates into a clear timeline, covering ballot mailing, registration, early voting, Election Day and county certification. The regular voter registration deadline is October 19, participating vote centers begin opening October 24, and Election Day is November 3. Eligible voters who miss the regular registration deadline can still use California's conditional registration process.

The November election page also includes a voting locations section, currently marked as awaiting official county location information. The archived June municipal election page shows how location listings work, with a map, addresses, voting hours, parking details and links for directions.

The Election Center extends beyond the current campaign. Its archive includes 11 local elections spanning 2015 through 2026, covering school board, City Council and City Treasurer contests. Readers can filter the listings to view active elections or certified results, then open an election to review its candidate record.

One of the center's most useful features is the interactive precinct map on the June 2026 municipal election page. Readers can select a precinct to see its candidate totals, switch between City Council and City Treasurer contests, and filter results by all ballots, vote by mail or polling place. This gives voters a way to examine how different parts of Beverly Hills voted.

That election page also preserves a history of result updates, with dated reports showing the count as it progressed toward certification. Final results display vote totals, percentages and elected candidates, giving readers both the outcome and a record of the reporting process.

A countdown on the main page keeps the next election date visible, while election pages include a sign-in option for alerts. The candidate pages, voting calendar and historical results are publicly accessible.

For Beverly Hills residents, the benefit is practical: a single starting point to research the people seeking office, read campaign records, plan when to vote and review the community's election history.
