A two-round representative contest
River Gee County Electoral District 3 held a House by-election on 20 July 2010 after the death of Representative Albert S. Toe on 14 April. Four candidates contested the vacant seat.
First round — 20 July
Christian Snorteh Chea of the Unity Party led with 1,022 votes (41.48%). Philbert G. Toe of the Congress for Democratic Change received 701 (28.45%), independent Francis Saywon Younge Sr. received 529 (21.47%), and independent Marcus Saylee Quenneh received 212 (8.60%).
There were 2,464 valid votes and 137 invalid ballots, for 2,601 total ballots. Because no candidate won the required majority, Chea and Toe advanced to a runoff.
