MHNAHow Will We Know Who Won NYC’s Mayoral Election, and When Will We Know It?
It’s unlikely we’ll know who won the mayor’s race on Primary Day.

Are we going to get results on primary night?
Yes we’ll see some results that night, but may not have a definitive answer about who won.
The city Board of Elections will release unofficial, first-choice-only votes after the polls close at 9 p.m. on primary night, June 24.
Those results will include votes made in person at a polling site, as well as any early mail or absentee ballots that the election board receives and scans by Jun. 20, according to its deputy executive director Vincent Ignizio.
The initial tally won’t include votes from affidavit ballots…
The results are broken down into election and assembly districts and can be found on the city Board of Elections website. If you don’t know which election district you live in, their website also has a lookup tool for that…
What we won’t know on election night is the ranked-choice tabulation in which the bottom candidates are eliminated and votes for them redistributed…
If any candidate wins more than 50% of first-choice votes on election night, they would effectively bypass the full ranked-choice counting process…
A week after election night, the elections board will release a preliminary tabulation of ranked choice calculations…
We’ll likely see official, certified results three weeks after the election, when the deadline to receive all cured ballots ends on July 14. The elections board will move to certify the results the following day at its commissioner’s meeting.
