Burbank voters will choose from eight candidates for three open seats on the City Council during a primary election on Feb. 28.
Three of the candidates are incumbents, and five are challengers.
If a candidate receives 50% plus one of the votes, they automatically win a seat. If no one gets 50% plus one, the top four vote-getters will move on to the municipal election on April 11.
