...in Arcadia, Avalon, Bradbury, Culver City, El Segundo, Lancaster, Lawndale, Long Beach, Malibu, Santa Clarita, Sierra Madre, Vernon (sort of), Walnut and Whittier. Most links take you directly to election information; a few take you to election data on city homepages. It's only sort of election day in Vernon because, gosh, no one wanted to run against the incumbents so the election was canceled. Again.

Most of these cities are electing members to their city councils; Lancaster and Lawndale are electing mayors. Long Beach is electing members to its school board and community college board, along with the city council. Sierra Madre is adding city clerk and treasurer to the mix.

As we noted previously, Culver City, Sierra Madre and Malibu are considering updating their utility user taxes, also known as phone taxes, much as Los Angeles voters did on Feb. 5. Avalon is also mulling raising its tax on admission to the Catalina town's attractions.
