The 2024 Los Angeles County elections were held on November 5, 2024, in Los Angeles County, California, with nonpartisan blanket primary elections for certain offices being held on March 5. Three of the five seats of the Board of Supervisors were up for election, as well as one of the countywide elected officials, the District Attorney. In addition, elections were held for the Superior Court, along with two ballot measures.
Municipal elections in California are officially nonpartisan; candidates' party affiliations do not appear on the ballot.

## Board of Supervisors

Three of the five seats of the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors were up for election to four-year terms. Incumbent supervisors Holly Mitchell, Janice Hahn and Kathryn Barger handily won re-election in the primary.

## District Attorney

Incumbent district attorney George Gascón was first elected in 2020, unseating two-term incumbent Jackie Lacey in a publicized election seen as a victory for criminal justice reform in Los Angeles. Gascón's tenure has been characterized by his liberal and progressive policies, such as opposition to capital punishment in California and reopening cases of officer-involved shootings. As a result, a series of recall efforts have been made against Gascón, and his office has received backlash from law enforcement groups and some of the families of violent crime victims.

### Candidates
#### Advanced to general

* George Gascón, incumbent district attorney
* Nathan Hochman, former U.S. Assistant Attorney General and runner-up for California Attorney General in 2022

#### Eliminated in primary

* Debra Archuleta, Los Angeles County Superior Court judge
* Jeff Chemerinsky, former assistant U.S. Attorney
* Jonathan Hatami, deputy district attorney
* Dan Kapelovitz, criminal defense attorney
* Lloyd Masson, cold case prosecutor
* John McKinney, deputy district attorney
* David Milton, former Los Angeles County Superior Court judge
* Craig Mitchell, Los Angeles County Superior Court judge

### Debates

Primary The Santa Monica Democratic Club hosted a debate between Gascón and seven other candidates on November 15, 2023. The debate saw each challenger focusing their attacks on him. Ramirez blamed Gascón for his "refusal to prosecute," while Mitchell declared that the county has become less safe. At one point, an attendant booed Gascón as he spoke.
