THE DEADLINE for submitting paperwork for candidates seeking city council seats is Friday.

Update: Now included are filings, etc., for Westminster.

There will almost certainly be new mayors in Garden Grove and Huntington Beach after the Nov. 8 election. With one day before the Friday deadline, Garden Grove’s Bao Nguyen has not taken out nomination papers for a second term, and Huntington Beach’s Jim Katapolis had announced he would not be seeking re-election to the city council.

Garden Grove’s mayor is elected directly; in Huntington Beach, the mayor is chosen by members from among their colleagues.

As of Thursday midday, these are the people who have started the candidacy process, according to the city clerks. The completed paperwork must be returned by 5 p.m. Friday. If incumbents choose not to run, the deadline is extended to next Wednesday.
