* A 2015 ''ComicStrip/{{Crankshaft}}'' story arc had Ed's friend Ralph stand for mayor of Centerville on a platform of doing something about the city's potholes. The incumbent was so intrenched that a local journalist was surprised to learn anyone else was ''allowed'' to stand for mayor. In the event, it's DecidedByOneVote, and Ed forgot. So with the polls tied, they tossed a coin, and Ed called it and lost.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'': The primary storyline in Hateno Village revolves around a rivalry between Cece (the highly successful modeler who brought popularity to the village thanks to her unique fashion merchandise) and Reede (the current mayor of the village, and who opposes the trend and prefers to uphold the traditional values), which escalates to the point that Cece challenges him to an electoral challenge for the position of mayor. From this point, Link undertakes sidequests where he has to figure out the respective secrets and plans of both candidates, and he also has to talk to several characters (some of which support Cece while others support Reede). After all such sidequests are completed, the election day comes where Cece and Reede participate on a public debate in front of everybody so the residents can decide on the new mayor. [[spoiler:In the end, due to Link having exposed certain acts of hypocrisy from both rivals, they decide to reconcile and combine their seemingly-conflicted ideals for the best of Hateno Village, thus canceling the elections]].
