An election day episode is one in which an election is the focus of the episode. In many countries around the world, people have the opportunity to influence those responsible for governing them via the ballot box. Given that this is a part of life, it thus shows up in works of fiction occasionally.
Election day episodes usually focus on one, two, or more main and/or recurring characters pursuing a bid for some elective office, though sometimes the focus can be reversed to focus on potential voters dilemma as to who they believe to be most qualified for office. Election day episodes will sometimes end in a Dark Horse Victory if the Victor is a write-in candidate or in the case of an Underdog Victory.
Expect these types of episodes to suddenly become a lot more common during a real-life election year.
Compare and Contrast with All Elections Are Serious Business, with which this trope can possibly overlap, particularly in more humorous takes.

In one storyline of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Uncle Phil runs for state judge against his mentor, Judge Robinson. In the last episode of the storyline, Robinson launches a smear campaign against Phil, but Phil refuses to sink to his level, intending to run a clean campaign, having faith that L.A will have faith in him. It then instantly cuts to election night where it's revealed that Robinson defeated Phil in a Landslide Election.

Family Guy Fanon has a few episodes that focus on this.
Season 1's "Do and Die" has cockamamie celebrity, Adam West run for mayor of Quahog, following the recent abdication of the last mayor, Buddy Cianci. Lois was not pleased with a loony idiot like Adam West becoming mayor, so she ran against him, enforcing a strict agenda. In the end, however, she lost and Adam West became the mayor of Quahog.
Season 16's "In With the News'" subplot sees Stewie go in disguise as an adult named "Mitchell Barnes" to run against Mayor Adam West in the upcoming mayoral re-election and become the new mayor of Quahog, so that he can take over the city and rule it like an evil dictator. Stewie does a weak job at getting anybody on his side and finds out that the majority of the early votes are for Mayor West, making it inevitable that he's going to lose. So he tries to rig the election with Vladimir Putin's help. However, Joyce reveals that the election was rigged, leading to "Mitchell's" mayorship getting immediately revoked and given back to Adam West, along with Stewie getting thrown in jail.

Benson, which takes place in the Governor's mansion, naturally has one of these every four years or so.
In the first season Taylor runs for office and loses quite badly.
In the last season Benson is running for Governor because the current Governor is constitutionally enjoined from seeking another term. But then a loophole appears and he decides to run as an independent. The last episode of the series ends on a cliffhanger as the Governor and Benson sit together watching the election results come in.
The last three episodes of season three surround the Governor's reelection. The first of the three involves the Governor trying (and failing) to secure his party's nomination. The second has them take a trip to the Gatling family lumber mill and Benson convincing him to run as an independent. The third shows the election itself. (Considering the show lasts four more years, it's not hard to guess who wins.)
The fourth and fifth episodes of season six revolve around an emergency election for lieutenant governor who was impeached in the season premiere. The two candidates are Benson and Senator Tyler. Needless to say, Benson wins.

Donkey Kong Country has the episode "Vote of Kong-fidence" in which Bluster, jealous of Candy's love for Donkey Kong, demands an election be held to decide the future ruler of Kongo Bongo Island. The Inka Dinka Doo okays the prospect but with the condition that anybody on the island can run. This leads to King K. Rool starting a campaign. None of the candidates are ideal; DK is a dope who just wants to be lazy and have fun while having no platform besides wanting people to like him, K. Rool is plotting to become a tyrannical dictator once elected due to being a villain, and Bluster just wants power for the sake of it and makes it transparent it's just a way to pad his wallet. Most of the characters fall for K. Rool's charm and faux-populism while forgetting he's the Big Bad. DK ultimately wins the election by one vote by tricking Krusha into voting for him, while K. Rool comes in second and Bluster runs away crying after learning he only got one vote: himself (with his own mother voting against him).

The Simpsons:
In "Two Cars in Every Garage and Three Eyes on Every Fish", Bart catches a three-eyed fish in a river downstream of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. After an inspection of the plant reveals numerous safety violations, Mr. Burns runs against Mary Bailey for governor to prevent the plant from being shut down. The night before the election, Burns has a televised dinner with the Simpsons to show his appeal to the common voter. Marge, who supports Bailey, sabotages Burns' political stunt and dooms his campaign by serving him the head of Blinky, the three-eyed fish.
The subplot of "Lisa's Substitute" focuses on Bart running against Martin for class president. While Bart is the more popular candidate due to his jokes and other gimmicks, Martin wins by two votes- since he and Wendell were the only ones who bothered to vote.
"Sideshow Bob Roberts" has Mayor Quimby pardon Sideshow Bob from prison only for Bob to run against him in the next election. Bob wins initially, but Quimby is restored to the office after it's discovered that Bob cheated in the election.
The third segment of "Treehouse of Horror VII" is entitled "Citizen Kang", where Kang and Kodos capture Bill Clinton and Bob Dole and disguise themselves as them to trick the Earthlings into voting for either of them so they can take over the Earth.
"Trash of the Titans" has Homer run for Sanitation Commissioner, with the promise of having garbagemen cleaning the residents' trash instead of having the residents take it out themselves. He promptly wastes his whole annual budget on new uniforms and amphibious trucks.
"E Pluribus Wiggum" focuses on the Springfield 2008 Presidential Primaries.

Dennis the Menace (1986): In "Wilson For Mayor", Mr. Wilson's tire gets damaged by a pothole, and Mr. Wilson blames Mayor Murray for not fixing it, saying he'd make a better mayor than him. Dennis likes this idea and encourages Mr. Wilson to go through with it. Unfortunately, Dennis' attempts to get people to vote for Mr. Wilson end up making the latter look bad, such as littering when they shoot posters out of a cannon, and causing a sonic shock when PeeBee turns his loudspeaker up too high. Mr. Wilson ends up losing the election to Murray, but also ends up getting the last laugh when Murray is forced to open his office to the youth of the community anytime they wish. With Dennis and his friends visiting Murray, he'll have more time for himself.

Community had an episode ("Intro to Political Science") in which an emergency election is held for class president for the Vice President's visit. The candidates are two women seeking to promote their issues, two men who enter specifically to antagonize those women, a drug dealer who later drops out to focus on that career, a party animal whose statements consist solely of his catchphrase, a cantankerous old man who's openly antagonistic of the voters, and a guy who was nominated by accident. After a series of death threats, petty arguments, and embarrassing secrets, the winner is eventually chosen: South Park.
The main storyline has idealistic Annie running for office, while cynical Jeff enters to show her what a hollow sham politics is - his campaign is all spouting feel-good platitudes and he roars to the lead. Annie ends up taking the low road by presenting an Old Shame video of Jeff trying out for MTV's "The Real World" dressed up as George Michael.

King of the Hill:
Subverted in one episode. Hank Hill is unsatisfied with some laws passed by the Arlen city council and thus decides to run for a seat on the council. However, when he goes to file for his campaign, he is informed that there had been a vacancy and thus he won by default.
Another episode centers around the 2000 presidential election. Hank Hill faces a crisis of conscience after finding out that his hero, George W. Bush, has a weak handshake.

David and Olivia explain to Big Bird that people vote for who they want to run in certain offices in the government, so Big Bird and Snuffy decide they want to vote too, but they can't because they're not old enough to register to vote (and because Snuffy was still "imaginary" at the time).

The Andy Griffith Show: Sheriff Andy Taylor was in the process of moving to another county to apply for a job, thus meaning he would have to relinquish his position as Sheriff of Mayberry. Deputy Barney Fife decided to run in the election to succeed him, but then unexpectedly Taylor decided against moving and choose to stay in Mayberry and keep his job. Thus Fife and Taylor were pitted against each other and Hilarity Ensues.
This was also one of the subplots of Return to Mayberry. Andy comes back to Mayberry to run for sheriff, but quietly drops out of the race when he finds out Barney (the "acting" sheriff) is running. When Barney finds out that Andy declined to campaign against him because of their friendship, he tells his supporters to vote for Andy as a write-in candidate because "that's what I'm gonna do."

While much of Wayward Guide for the Untrained Eye focuses on the lead-up to Connor Creek's important town council election, Chapter 5 specifically deals with the election itself, and all the strange traditions this involves. These include a 3:45 AM start time and caucuses that decide how to vote instead of who (i.e. blue ink or black ink, "I Voted" stickers or buttons, voting youngest to oldest or oldest to youngest, etc.).

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog: In "Sonic is Running", Momma Robotnik forces Dr. Robotnik to run for president of Mobius. Robotnik hires Wes Weasely as his campaign manager to make him look good, and uses Hypno-vision commercials to hypnotize the citizens of Mobius into voting for him. When Sonic hears of this, he decides to run against Robotnik, bedevilling him every step of the campaign to expose his true colors. In the end, it is revealed that Sonic won in a landslide victory, and Robotnik only received one vote (his own). Not even Scratch and Grounder or Momma voted for him, since the former forgot to vote at all and the latter was so disgusted by her son's campaign that she actually voted for Sonic. After winning the election, Sonic gives the job of president of Mobius to Henry Walrus, the incumbent with a 90% approval rating.

Columbo did this a couple of times.
Columbo has his work cut out for him in "Candidate for Crime" when a politician disposes of his manager in the running-up to an election, with the big finale (and apprehension of the culprit) occurring on election eve.
"Agenda for Murder" has a lawyer and political fixer commit murder to protect himself and his biggest client, a congressman who's gotten tabbed by his party's nominee to be Vice President. The episode ends with Columbo confronting the killer in a side room adjacent to the big hall where the nominee is celebrating his victory in that night's California primary.

The aptly-named "Election Day" heist in PAYDAY 2 focuses on the crew rigging the Washington D.C. mayoral election in favor of their supported candidate: Bob McKendrick, a "slimy ballbag" of a politician who's corrupt and incompetent whom Bain despises. The crew is only getting him in power because he'll transfer their old friend Hoxton to a lower-security prison, allowing the crew to break him out. Depending on how things turn out, the crew can either successfully and stealthily rig the election, blow stealth and frame the rigging on McKendrick's opponent, or fail to rig the machines at all, instead destroying the machines during the election itself under the cover of a bank robbery, forcing a recount later.

"Franchise": America is about to hold another presidential election, but since the creation of Multivac, elections are a bit different. In an election year, there's only one person voting, and they don't know who they are until just before the Election Day (to minimize the influence from political figures). They don't even vote for candidates directly, instead answering Multivac's questions about minutia such as "What did you think of the price of milk last year?"

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine:
"The Collaborator" had Major Kira get involved in the Bajoran religion's election of the next kainote equivalent to the Roman Catholic Pope. The two front-runners are the reform-minded Vedeknote archbishop/cardinal Bareil Antos, and the more orthodox/conservative Vedek Winn Adami. Winn wins due to Bareil being falsely implicated as a former Cardassian collaborator.
In "Shakaar", Kai Winn assumes the role of interim First Minister of Bajor (the Bajoran secular head of state) after the former FM dies in office, and promptly gets into a political fight with a group of farmers led by Kira's old Resistance cell leader Shakaar Edon. After a brief uprising ends without bloodshed, Shakaar decides to run against her. The election isn't actually held this episode, but he wins offscreen.

Arthur has an episode dedicated to a faux-election over class president of Mr. Ratburn's class. Arthur, who's pretty socially awkward and meek, is running against the flashy, wealthy Muffy, who's clearly trying to buy the election and takes numerous low blows at Arthur. Though the odds seem in Arthur's favor, ultimately last minute candidate Binky wins the election after proposing some pretty basic decisions like snacks in class. He learns to his dismay, however, that the position holds no actual power since it was a faux-election.

Shining Time Station: In "The Mayor Runs for Re-Election", the mayoral election comes to Indian Valley and Mayor Flopdinger desires to keep his position of Mayor. Schemer offers to help Flopdinger by acting as his campaign manager in the election against Richard Richhouse. On the night of the mayoral debate, Flopdinger realizes that Schemer's ideas as campaign manager are to promote his arcade, and fires him, also realizing that in order to be a good leader, you have to keep the promises you make, which results in him winning the election by one vote. Notably, this became a Banned Episode when PBS re-ran the episode on the day of Richard Nixon's funeral.note While PBS might've seen this as a tribute to him, many parents were understandably upset, and the station, as well as series creator Rick Siggelkow, had to issue an apology the following day.

"Evidence": This Short Story is about an electoral candidate, Stephen Byerley, who is accused of being a robot. It's not just mudslinging; only a human being can hold public office. Most of the story revolves around trying to prove he either is, or isn't, a robot. We never really learn the truth, as the evidence that won him popular opinion could've been faked.

SCTV has an episode that features the local Melonville elections, where institutionalized mentally ill incumbent mayor Tommy Shanks runs against incredibly slimy opponent Vic Hedges, the bottle bill is worded so confusingly that it is impossible to understand, and the voters vote down the Up with Melonville campaign, but vote for a second nuclear dump site to be created near the town.

In the Dinosaurs episode, "And the Winner is...", the previous Chief Elder dies of a heart attack while naming Baby, resulting in Baby briefly being named "Aaah Aagh I'm Dying You Idiot". B.P. Richfield runs for the position of Chief Elder, and gets Earl to run against him since Earl is stupid enough to lose. Earl has two dreams, the first where how horrible the world is if Richfield wins, and another where he accidentally causes a war from the pressure of being Chief Elder if he wins. On the night of the debate, Earl reveals that neither him nor Richfield are qualified to be Chief Elder. When the results are announced, Richfield gets more votes than Earl, but the winner is write-in candidate Edward R. Hero, the news reporter who has been reporting on the campaigns.

Popeye:
The 1947 short "Olive Oyl for President" (a remake of Fleischer's "Betty Boop for President") is pretty much a Dream Sequence stretched out to animated short subject form.
Another short has Popeye and Bluto competing in an election which is a dead heat. Olive is the deciding vote, so Popeye and Bluto vie for it.

Have I Got News for You is usually recorded on Thursday night, for broadcast the following evening. Election specials are recorded on the Friday morning for broadcast that evening, giving the producers only a few hours in which to edit the recording and deliver it for broadcast.
One of the most memorable editions was the 2010 special, where there was a hung parliament (no party had enough seats to win) and the difficulties of recording the episode so close to broadcast proved to be for nothing as they still had no idea what the result would be. It was also notable for former MP Lembit Opik appearing mere hours after unexpectedly losing his seat.

Bob's Burgers has “The Millie-churian Candidate�, wherein Louise takes Tina’s job as Jimmy Jr’s campaign manager to keep her nemesis Millie from being elected class president. In the end the victor is Henry Habler, a dark horse nobody thought would win. It turns out Henry knew he wasn’t popular enough to beat clear favorite Jimmy Pesto Jr and purposely put the idea of running for president in Millie’s head. Knowing that Millie always makes Louise act irrational her efforts to help Jimmy Jr only tank his popularity. Louise tries in desperation to run herself and even gets Millie out of the race by causing her to assault a fellow student but Louise is also out because she broke the rules in the process, meaning Henry wins because everyone forgot about him.

Archie Comics had a story where Betty and Veronica ran against each other for class president, with Veronica using her father's money to help her campaign (e.g. professionally printed campaign posters) and dragooning Archie into being her campaign manager. Sure enough, Veronica wins... narrowly, and with Archie voting for Betty and taking her to dinner as a consolation prize.

Invader Zim has an election day episode, after the actual class president goes crazy in front of the class. Zim wants to win the election because of the power that it would imply (never mind it's just an school election) and Dib wants to stop him because... well, it's his job, and his school life would suck with Zim in charge. He can't win because he's not popular, so he helps a secondary candidate. Dib succeeds in making Zim lose, but it turns out that the school just lobotomizes the election's winner to do the school's bidding, so in the end Zim thanks Dib for saving his life.

Reconciling the position of Perry Rhodan's eponymous protagonist as Grand Administrator of the Solar Empire during the latter's existence with the fact that said empire was of course still meant to be a democracy at heart, this came up several times in the series. In one case, the risk of losing the upcoming next election while being too busy helping an alien civilization elsewhere in the galaxy to do much serious campaigning (with the main challenger meanwhile running on something of a "humanity first" platform) even informed the background mood of an entire thirty-issue arc.

Hamilton is all about politics in its second act, but "The Election of 1800" late in the musical revolves around Thomas Jefferson versus Aaron Burr, after John Adams, the incumbent president, is guaranteed to lose. The people seem to be leaning more in Burr's direction, since they see Jefferson as a France-loving elitist, and Burr as a more approachable, less extremist kind of guy. However, it's pointed out that Burr is too much of a people pleaser, and isn't that dedicated to any particular position. James Madison proposes that Jefferson seek Hamilton (his former political rival) for an endorsement. Hamilton ultimately agrees to endorse Jefferson in an Enemy Mine - while he disagrees with Jefferson on pretty much everything, Jefferson at least has strong beliefs and convictions, and Burr has none. Burr loses the election in a landslide, and is given extremely reduced powers as Vice President by president-elect Jefferson out of spite.

The Book of Pooh: In "A Smackeral in Every Pot", Rabbit announces that he has been invited to give a guest lecture at the Squash Society, and he needs someone to lead the next meeting of the Very Important Discussion Club to lead the next meeting while he's gone. When Rabbit says he needs a bold and courageous leader, Roo nominates Tigger, and when Rabbit says he also needs a thoughtful and considerate leader, Pooh nominates Piglet. Owl decides to have an election to decide who the new leader will be. On the day of the election, the wind knocks over Piglet's banner, and Piglet saves Tigger from having it fall on him by pushing him out of the way. When Piglet is upset over the state of his banner, Tigger returns the favor by letting him use his (even going as far as letting him put his name on it). The election ends in a tie, and it is revealed that Piglet voted for Tigger for being thoughtful and giving him his banner, and Tigger voted for Piglet for being bold and saving him from his fallen banner. Owl has both Piglet and Tigger lead the meeting, or at least he would have had Rabbit's lecture not ended early.

The Superstore episode titled "Election Day" features election-related shenanigans at the titular big-box store. Amy and Jonah, dismayed at the Cloud 9 head honchos blatantly pushing anti-labor candidates, try to persuade their coworkers to vote for the opponents. Glenn and Dina accidentally destroy a box of ballots, while Mateo tries to get his hands on an "I Voted" sticker so no one finds out he's undocumented.

The first episode of Blackadder the Third ("Dish and Dishonesty") is about a by-election in an obscure rotten borough that Blackadder and the Prince Regent manage to gain control over. The election itself is presented as a parody of modern election coverage, with an appearance by Vincent Hanna as "his own great-great-great-grandfather" reporting out of the window. Baldrick is elected thanks to shameless ballot stuffing by sole voter and returning officer E. Blackadder.

Beetlejuice:
"Mr. Beetlejuice Goes to Town" has the Ghost with the Most running for Mayor of the Neitherworld... which he wins. However, after letting his win go to his head, Lydia schemes to get him impeached. His last act as Mayor is rather noble — striking the construction of the Lost Souls Highway which would have razed the Roadhouse.
"Running Scared" had B.J. as his Betty Juice persona running for president of Miss Shannon's School for Girls against Claire Brewster.

7th Heaven: The aptly-titled "Vote" featured the 2004 presidential election, in which the message "voting is important because it helps you have a say in politics" is anviliciously drilled in, with the characters having long-winded speeches about the importance of voting in every scene. Hell, the episode ended with the cast telling the audience to vote in a series of individual shots.

The Wire has Season 4's "Margin of Error," centering in large part on the Democratic primary race for Mayor of Baltimore City, including the campaigning and game-playing in both the Carcetti and Royce camps. Somewhat unusually, it extends out into other areas, showing the impact of the election on the police (specifically, how Kima and another detective are forced to serve as uniformed officers for a day to monitor the polls so that they can't complete their investigation of a politically sensitive murder before the election) and the street (with Randy being given money to distribute flyers for a candidate).

Hunter × Hunter, by Yoshihiro Togashi, has not only an episode, but an entire Story Arc devoted to the Election of Chairman of the Hunter's Association. It shows off a very interesting power struggle, even the most good and honest characters are forced to retort to morally ambiguous tactics in order to increase their popularity, every movement (even the fights) is calculated to get more voters and support, and the masses are constantly swayed away by the candidates' showy propaganda, pompous speeches and shady promises instead of their actual arguments or background. And, for the most prominent characters, the election ends up being another game to test their skills against each other.

Kirby Buckets did an episode in Season 2. Kirby is forced to eat lunch with Principal Mitchell 100 days in a row after he is caught throwing a party in Mitchell’s office. The only way out of the punishment is a pardon from the school president, which has typically been a vacant position. Dawn, who’s been annoyed by Kirby’s loud chewing in the cafeteria, conspires to keep Kirby’s punishment ongoing and enlists a perpetually unlucky boy named Sad Randy to run as a puppet and get the sympathy vote. To stop Randy from winning, Kirby gets Fish and Eli to run against Randy. Eli promises to run an honest campaign, but can’t afford campaign supplies and is forced to make a deal with an old woman to get them in exchange for having his cheeks pinched. Fish, meanwhile, is very reluctant to enter the race due to his very aggressive campaign style, but Kirby ultimately convinces him to join. Eli takes responsibility for breaking his honesty pledge and drops out of the race and Randy is disqualified after Kirby exposes the ruse, leaving Fish as the winner. Unfortunately for him, pardoning Mitchell’s detentions is all the president can do.

The South Park episode "Douche and Turd" is about an election for a new school mascot after PETA "frees" their original cow mascot. The two candidates are a "giant douche" and a "turd sandwich". The episode concludes that in every election, the choice is between a douche and a turd. Also, the election was for nothing in the end, since P. Diddy and his group massacred PETA, meaning they're free to continue using Mooey the Cow as their mascot.

The Warrior Cats short story Warriors Ultimate Leader: The Clans Decide. Around the 2008 Presidential election, HarperCollins decided to teach children about voting by creating a subsite where users could vote on their favorite out of several Clan Leader characters, and the winner would have a short story (involving voting) written about them. Ultimately it was Firestar, the protagonist of the main Warriors series, that won; the story was released when Barack Obama took office, and it focused on the Clans deciding to work together to survive a harsh winter and voting on whether Firestar should temporarily lead them all.

Barney Miller has a couple of episodes revolving around elections.
In "The Election", taking place on Election Day 1976, an arrestee insists on using his right to vote so Wojo takes him to the polls, where he escapes. In a subplot inveterate gambler Nick is torn between who to bet on winning (Ford or Carter).
In a later episode Inspector Luger goes around trying to get people to vote for a firend of his. The only thing that anyone remembers is that he was involved in a political scandal, and the best that Luger can come back with is "they never proved any of that."

Fallen London held its first mayoral election In 1894 (2016) where players could support the candidate of their choice and the winner would be the candidate who receives the greatest overall support from the most Notable players. However, the candidates were rather...eccentric: a boisterous bishop who challenges others to wrestling contests and wants to invade Hell (again), a revolutionary who contradicts every single opinion he comes across and treats his campaign like it's one big elaborate joke, and a sin-loving nun who may actually be the most sensible of all the candidates...and ended up winning the election by a significant margin.

Madam Secretary spent the first half of season three on a rather hair-raising election arc (heavily inspired by the then-current 2016 US presidential election) that starts with President Dalton, protagonist Liz McCord's boss, losing a primary challenge. Liz talks him into refusing to step down and running as an independent. He ultimately wins by forcing a three-way draw in the electoral college, which punts the election to the House of Representatives and lets him eke out a win.

Amphibia: In "Hop-Popular", tired of Mayor Toadstool's self-serving style of governing, Hop Pop decides to run against the usually unopposed toad in that year's election. Amphibian elections involve a series of trials done to determine the candidates' fitness; after Hop Pop easily wins in the first three trials, a worried Toadstool attempts to bribe him to throw the final challenge, a one-on-one boxing match. Hop Pop refuses his offer, wins the match, and earns 100% of the vote in town... only to lose the election due to the fact that he only campaigned in Wartwood, when the entire rest of the population of Frog Valley participated in the election.

Doug features the episode "Doug Runs", in which Doug campaigns for class treasurer against Willie White (one of Roger's goons). This runs in parallel with Mrs. Dink running for mayor against Willie's Authority in Name Only father. In the end, Mrs. Dink becomes mayor, and Doug and Willie lose the school election to Skeeter's uncle Dan Freebird (whose campaign material for city treasurer Skeeter attempted to repurpose for Doug's campaign).

Avenue 5: In "Let's Play with Matches", the passengers depose Captain Ryan after the previous episode ended with him accidentally telling the whole ship all the various problems he's been keeping from them. After a brief attempt to replace him with a series of committees results in anarchy, it's decided to elect a "benevolent dictator" to take total control of the ship. Ultimately, after Nathan (the cannibal who stowed away from a prison space station a few episodes previous) nearly wins through sheer charm, it ends with one of the candidates drunkenly encouraging the passengers to reinstall Ryan on the grounds that his previous failures will make him a better leader now. So much to Ryan's own protests, he's put back in charge.

The Gravity Falls episode "The Stanchurian Candidate" features Grunkle Stan and Bud Gleeful running for mayor upon the death of the old mayor. Most notably, it's named after The Manchurian Candidate, and like said book, it involves mind control. It's later revealed that Bud is a puppet of Gideon and being used to get Gideon out of jail. Stan does technically win, but is disqualified due to his criminal record, resulting in Tyler Cutbiker winning and becoming Mayor for the rest of the series.

One episode of Night Court revolves around a local election which Dan was participating in. A fire forces everyone to take shelter in the morgue. After they're rescued, it's revealed that Dan initially lost the election, but this became a tie shortly afterward due to an uncounted vote. This leads to a second example.
