Measure CD (Map 130) District Transition
In November 2026, Burbank voters approved Measure CD following the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA) settlement, replacing the city's historical at-large election system with five single-member geographic council districts defined by City Council Map 130:
- Phase 1 (November 7, 2028): Council District 2 and Council District 4 elect their representatives. The remaining three at-large council members continue serving until 2030.
- Phase 2 (November 5, 2030): Council District 1 (Hillside / East Burbank), District 3 (Downtown / Civic Center), and District 5 (Northwest / Airport) elect district representatives, completing the full five-district transition.
