On September 1, 2019, The Los Angeles County Superior Court released a judgment which canceled the election and ordered new, by-district elections be held beginning in March 2020.[1] The court ruled that using an at-large system to elect governing board members in the Compton Unified School District constituted a violation of the California Voter Rights Act of 2001.[1] For more information on elections in the Compton Unified School District, please click here.
