California's 36th congressional district special election, 2011
A 2011 special election in California's 36th congressional district filled the vacancy in California's 36th congressional district after the resignation of incumbent Jane Harman on February 28, 2011, who vacated her seat in the U.S. House of Representatives to become head of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.
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.〔http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/files/elections/2011/by_county/CA_Page_0712.html?SITE=AP&SECTION=POLITICS〕
==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 California Elections Code - Sections 10700 through 10707〕
The special election was held under California statutes regarding special elections and not under California's newly in force Proposition 14, which does not apply to special elections.〔http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html California Constitution - Article 2 - Section 5〕
