The Bakersfield City School District held a special election Tuesday to fill the Board of Trustees Area 3 vacant seat.

The seat was vacated last year after trustee Raymond Gonzalez announced his resignation.
Voters within the district have four candidates to choose from -- Edgar Aguilasocho, who is an attorney for the United Farm Workers; Ralph Anthony, who is a retired pastor; Vicki Billington an elementary school daycare manager; and Rupert Gregorio who is a financial advisor.
