Voters across New York are heading towards public opinion polls on Tuesday, June 24, to hand over ballots in municipal primary primary voters that contain dramatic attempts to return and wild battles of intrapart in key races from New York to Buffalo.
At the center of attention is a democratic primary for the mayor of New York, where former governor Andrew Cuomo is trying to return to the elected office four years after resigning in the middle of the accusation of sexual harassment. Cuomo faces a crowded field of 11 candidates, including the progressive State Assembly Zohran Mamdani, who ensured confirmation from Senator Bernie Sanders and representatives of Alexandrie Okasio-Cortez.
Also in the mix are the speaker of the city council Adrienne Adams and Controller Brad Lander, which makes the race one of the most recurrent and subsequent in the last memory.
Eric Adams runs as independent
The democratic nominee will face the reigning mayor Eric Adams, who was elected as a democrat, but skips the primary to run as independent in November. Adams was accused of federal probe of federal corruption 2024, although the fees were later abandoned by the Ministry of Justice under President Trump. The Republican Curtis Sliwa, founder of Guardian Angels, runs again on the GOP ticket.
Weiner’s second act?
In another closely watched race, former American deputy Anthony Weiner was doing a political attempt to return to the democratic primary district of the city council in New York. He now faces four challenges, including the reigning state assembly of Harvey Epstein.
Returning vote with evaluation is returning
The New York races will use voting with the evaluated selection, allowing voters priority over five candidates. If no candidate ensures most of the first selection votes, they are the lowest voters and redistribute their votes until the winner appears. The system, which proved to be decisive in the Mayor’s 2021 plant, only applies to multi-candidate without a clear majority.
Manhattan Da that pursued Trump face to face primary
The lawyer of Manhattan Alvin Bragg, who in 2024 led the historical prosecution of Donald Trump, is also ready to re -election and face the challenge of lawyer Patrick Timmins. Bragg’s treatment of this high -ranking case made it a goal and a hero depending on the political lens.
Buffalo race is warming up
Other major competitions include democratic primary for Buffalo Mayor. The reigning mayor Christopher Scanlon is looking for a complete period after replacing the long -time mayor of Byron Brown, who resigned last year. He faces a strong opposition to the State Senator Sean Ryan, supported by the local democratic party, and three others: a member of the Rasheed Wyatt Council, former fire brigade Commissioner Garnell Whitfield Jr. and community organizer Anthony Tyson-Thompson.
Participation of voters and timeline
With 5.1 million registered voters in New York, including 65% Democrats, participation will be a key factor. In 2021, only 27% of eligible voters took part in the primaries, with 12% handled the early ballots.
Public opinion surveys at 21:00 et, with early voting of the first selection is expected soon after. However, official evaluation results and final results may take days or weeks, especially if no candidate gets a majority. Descriptions can be triggered according to state law depending on the edges of the vote.
On Tuesday is 133 days for the general elections 3 November.
