The special primary election occurred on May 17, 2011. Democrat Janice Hahn received the highest number of votes, with Republican Craig Huey taking second place. Because no candidate received more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary, a special general election was held on July 12, 2011, between the top two vote recipients. The runoff election was won by Janice Hahn.Election 2011 by county http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2011/by_county/CA_Page_0712.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS https://archive.today/20120708172338/http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2011/by_county/CA_Page_0712.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS dead 8 July 2012 Associated Press
Background and procedures
An election was called to fill the rest of Harman's term, which ends January 2013. An all-party primary was held on May 17. Since no candidate received more than 50% of the vote, the top two primary finishers, regardless of party, met in a run-off on July 12.http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html Find California Code 2009-07-16 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20090714132609/http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html 2009-07-14 California Elections Code - Sections 10700 through 10707
