City of Burbank — City Clerk

Draft candidate list — early preview until the state’s official list publishes on August 27, 2026.

This is one contest. Enter your address to see every race on your November ballot, and keep track of your picks.

On the ballot

This person is Burbank's elections official and the custodian of the city's public records — agendas, minutes, contracts, and campaign-disclosure filings. A 4-year term.

Only one candidate qualified for this seat. Incumbent City Clerk Kimberley Clark, elected in 2022, appears unopposed for a second term — so this contest is settled and your vote here does not change the outcome.

The city clerk runs Burbank's municipal elections, keeps the city's official public records — agendas, minutes, contracts, campaign-disclosure filings — and serves as the city's own election authority for this ballot. A 4-year term.

With no opponent, the useful question is what the officeholder has done, not who to choose. Clark has held the office since 2022, after prior public-service and municipal-records work at the Burbank Unified School District.

Kimberley Clark

The incumbent City Clerk, elected in 2022, unopposed for a second term. Before her election she was Public Information Officer and Executive Assistant to the Board of Education for Burbank Unified School District, overseeing board elections, agendas, minutes and the district's records-and-filings compliance (per the city's official bio). "It has been my honor to serve the people of Burbank as their city clerk," she said Aug. 19. "During my term, I will continue delivering accountable, efficient and accessible service to our community."

Strengths

A city-records and elections background predating her election — a decade-plus running board elections and records compliance for the school district before taking the city clerk role.

Trade-offs

Running unopposed means her administration of the office faces no organized counter-argument this cycle.

Keep in mind

The clerk's job is largely procedural — running elections and keeping records straight — so continuity is close to the whole case for an incumbent running unopposed.
