Los Altos holds its first City Council election by district on Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2026. In District 2, former Mayor Lynette Lee Eng faces Anky van Deursen; in District 4, Councilmember Larry Lang is the only candidate.
Why it matters: Only voters who live in Districts 2 and 4 get a council contest on their ballot, the city says. The other three districts vote in 2028.
