NYC mayoral election – live results tracker

Polls in New York City close at 9pm ET. The first results will come in shortly after and will continue to come in throughout the night. In 2021, most of the votes were counted before midnight, and the Associated Press declared Eric Adams the winner around midnight.

Ever since his victory in the Democratic primary, Zohran Mamdani has been the clear favorite to win. Polls aggregated by the New York Times have Mamdani anywhere from five to 25 points ahead of his opponents, Curtis Sliwa, the Republican candidate, and Andrew Cuomo, who entered the race as an independent after losing in the Democratic primary.
