While Los Angeles votes today in a major local primary for mayor and other key positions, several area cities also are selecting city council members.
In Bellflower, two incumbents and a challenger are vying for two open council seats. At the same time in a wide-open race, four others are seeking to complete the unfinished term of former Councilman Randy Bomgaars, who resigned last summer.
In Signal Hill, seven candidates, including three incumbents, are competing for three open council seats.
In Norwalk, five candidates, including two incumbents, are seeking two seats.
Cerritos, meanwhile, will see at least one new council member come out of the election. Seven candidates, including only one incumbent, are running for two seats.
Polls are open 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. in Bellflower, Cerritos, Norwalk and Signal Hill, and 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Norwalk.
