The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (LACBOS) is the governing body of Los Angeles County, California, United States.
The five-member Board was constituted in the middle of the 19th century, when the County population was just a few thousand people. The Board's structure remained largely unchanged even as the County grew to become the United States' most populous, with each supervisor responsible for a district of about 2 million constituents in the 2020s. The Board manages an annual budget of more than $50 billion, and has ultimate control over most aspects of the County's departments, including social services, public works, and the court system. The Board's combination of immense power and minimal oversight is such that the Supervisors are nicknamed the "five little kings"—or in the case of the most recent Board, the "five little queens". Multiple attempts to reform the Board of Supervisors by ballot measure failed in the 20th and early 21st century. In 2024, voters approved Measure G to expand the Board to nine members and create an executive position.
