City Clerk Heidi Luce presented three resolutions on Jan. 27 to call the municipal election on June 2, 2026, set rules for candidate statements and request consolidation with the Los Angeles County election on that date.
Luce said Resolution No. 26001 calls the election for two at‑large City Council seats and Resolution No. 26002 adopts regulations governing candidate statements, setting a 200‑word maximum and allowing candidates to opt for electronic‑only distribution via the County Clerk's website.
