Summary

Council adopted three resolutions to call and consolidate the city's general municipal election for June 2, 2026, covering the mayor, council districts 1, 3 and 5, city clerk and city treasurer; the council also set candidate statement rules.

The Torrance City Council adopted three resolutions to call the city’s general municipal election for Tuesday, June 2, 2026, to elect the mayor, councilmembers for Districts 1, 3 and 5, city clerk and city treasurer for four‑year terms.

City Clerk Crystal Camarota explained the resolutions: one formally calls the election (Resolution No. 2026‑06), the second requests consolidation with Los Angeles County for administration of the election (Resolution No. 2026‑07), and the third sets candidate statement rules and printing‑cost provisions (Resolution No. 2026‑08), including a 200‑word limit and a requirement that candidates pay printing costs (19¢ per word noted by staff).

A public commenter, Ari Sharmah, urged the council to consider moving future municipal elections to November to increase turnout; he said prior turnout for a mayoral election was low. The council adopted all three resolutions unanimously.
