Early campaign returns suggest that Pierluigi Oliverio will represent District 6 on the San Jose City Council. At 10:45 pm (more than two hours after the polls closed), the Registrar of Voters tally has Oliverio leading 58% to 42% over Steve Tedesco.

The SJ Mercury News provided this mathematical analysis shortly after the polls closed:

County elections officials have said they expect only a 30 percent turnout - or about 11,433 total voters. More than 7,000 people had already voted via absentee ballots by 5 p.m. Monday, meaning the winner may already have been determined before a single vote from polling places is counted.
