About the elections

The Primary Election for New York City Mayor and City Council will be held on June 24, 2025. This election gives you the chance to select the candidate who best reflects your values and priorities for the general election in November.

In this election, we will use Ranked Choice Voting, a system that gives voters more influence. Instead of picking just one candidate, you rank them in order of preference: 1, 2, 3. If your top choice doesn’t win, your vote automatically counts toward your next preference. This ensures every vote counts and promotes fairer, more representative elections.

Yes! In this primary election, we are going to use the Ranked Choice Voting system.

Ranked Choice Voting is a voting system in which voters rank candidates in order of preference rather than choosing just one candidate. Here's how it works:

  • Rank Your Choices: Voters can rank multiple candidates (usually 1st, 2nd, 3rd choice, etc.) on their ballot. If you prefer one candidate over another, you can mark them as your first choice, and if you like another candidate, you can mark them as your second choice, and so on.
