2016
Note: Unofficial results put Diep ahead of Nguyen by 28 votes out of more than 17,000. An automatic recount put Diep's lead at 14 votes. A second recount, funded by Nguyen, confirmed that Diep won the election.
The city of San Jose, California, held elections for five of its nine city council seats on June 7, 2016. While the June election was called a primary, it was functionally a general election.
If no candidate won a majority (50 percent plus one) of the votes cast in a primary, the top two vote-getters in the race advanced to an election on November 8, 2016. The November election was called a general election, but it was functionally a runoff election.[1] Lan Diep defeated incumbent Manh Nguyen in the primary election for San Jose City Council District 4.

2015
The city of San Jose, California, held a special election for city council on April 7, 2015. A runoff took place on June 23, 2015. The filing deadline for candidates who wished to run in this election was January 9, 2015.
The city held the special election to fill the District 4 seat of former council member Kansen Chu, who won election to the California State Assembly in 2014.[2]
Candidates included Allen Ming Chiu, Bob Dhillon, Lan Diep, Rudy Nasol, Manh Nguyen, Khoa Nguyen, Alex Torres, Johnny Lee, Timothy Orozco and Thelma Boac. Because no candidate received a majority of the votes in the general election, the top two candidates—Manh Nguyen and Timothy Orozco—faced each other in a runoff election on June 23. Nguyen was the winner.[3][4][5]
