Rhee leads Arcadia District 5 by 209 votes in Nov. 10 unofficial tally
Steve Rhee led Michael Cao by 209 votes in Arcadia City Council District 5, with 1,982 votes (52.78%) to 1,773 (47.22%) in Los Angeles County results timestamped Nov. 10, 2026, at 5:01 p.m. Arcadia links the results as unofficial, so the tally does not establish a certified winner. The Nov. 3 municipal election also included council contests in Districts 2 and 3.
How has the margin changed? The county’s Nov. 4 report showed Rhee ahead 1,414 to 1,379, a 35-vote lead. By Nov. 10, the lead was 209 votes—174 votes wider than in the earlier snapshot. That is a change in the margin between two counts, not the number of votes newly cast for either candidate.
Los Angeles County scheduled its next results update for Nov. 13, 2026, at 4 p.m. Arcadia’s November newsletter said county officials were expected to certify results by Dec. 1, and that the council reorganization was planned for Dec. 1 at 7 p.m.
