She won a narrow victory in the tenth, and final possible, round of the instant-runoff vote, despite runner-up Don Perata having led the vote count in all nine previous rounds.https://www.acvote.org/acvote-assets/pdf/elections/2010/11022010/results/rcv/oakland/mayor/november-2-2010-pass-report-oakland-mayor.pdf RCV Results Report Alameda County acvote.org September 21, 2020 November 7, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201107054904/https://www.acvote.org/acvote-assets/pdf/elections/2010/11022010/results/rcv/oakland/mayor/november-2-2010-pass-report-oakland-mayor.pdf dead Many challengers filed to unseat Quan in 2014, the best-known names being City Council members Rebecca Kaplan and Libby Schaaf; political science professor, former television commentator, and 2010 mayoral candidate Joe Tuman, City Auditor Courtney Ruby; former Port of Oakland Commissioner Bryan Parker; and civil rights lawyer Dan Siegel.

Exhausted ballots represent votes that could not be transferred because a less preferred candidate was not marked on the ballot. Voters were allowed to mark only three choices because of voting system limitations. Over votes are votes that could not be counted for a candidate because more than one candidate was marked for a choice that was ready to be counted. Under votes are ballots that were left blank or that only marked a choice for a write-in candidate that had not qualified as a write-in candidate.
