NYC 2025: Early Voting Underway, Bloomberg Backs Cuomo, and Bernie Backs Mamdani

"In a few days, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers will make their way out to their nearest polling location — or post office — to cast their ballots for the dozens of primary elections taking place this June. The ever-important mayoralty is up for grabs this year, with 11 candidates vying for the position in the Democratic primary alone. Many City Council district seats also have competitive primaries," said The City.

"We may not know those official results until weeks after the polls close... 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."

In the latest round of endorsements, two political independents with both strong local ad national followings have made their support clear: former Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I) has backed former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D), while Vermont US Senator Bernie Sanders (I) has heralded Astoria's State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani (D).
