New York City enters the final, high section of its primary democratic mayor, where a historical stir and a complex system of voting collide. When any candidate exceeds 50% of the threshold in the first round of votes, the traditional majority may be decided on the next mayor of the city, but by voting with the selection-metal, the future of the nation’s largest city will now form.
Mamdani leads but victory is not yet certain
With 92.8% of the votes, the 33 -year -old State Assembly Zohran Mamdani has a significant leadership with 43.5% of the first selection votes, before Andrew Cuom (36.4%) and Brad Lander (11.3%).
Cuomo has already admitted, but Mamdani’s path to democratic nomination still depends on the table with a selection evaluation, which begins 1 July.
This means that the race did not end – and will not be officially certified until 15 July after the ballot ballots are included in the following rounds.
What is the election of voting?
The selection system in New York allows voters to shift up to five candidates according to priority. This is how it works:
If no candidate earns more than 50% of the first selection votes, the candidate with the smallest votes is removed.
The vote of supporters of this candidate will then be redistributed to their further selection.
This elimination and redistribution continues around Kur until one candidate exceeds 50%.
It is a method designed to ensure that the winning candidate reflects wide support, not just the plurality of voters. It also reduces the need for expensive outflow elections and supports a campaign based on civilian coalitions.
What will happen 1 July?
From 1 July, the Board of Directors will launch an automated table of data on evaluated selections, removal of low -performance applicants and redistribute their votes according to the second and third elections of voters.
This means that the absent ballots are still accepted by the end of June. These ballots will be included in the subsequent updates published every week until the certification of 15 July.
There is a candidacy for history in balance
If mamdani wins the nomination, it will be:
November is building a large
The victory of a democratic nomination is just one battle. In the November General Elections, Mamdani will face:
- Eric Adams, the current mayor runs as independent
- Curtis Sliwa, founder of Republican and Guardian Angels
- And potentially Andrew Cuomo, who did not rule out an independent run, although he admitted the primary.
Final countdown
As July 1 is approaching, the city’s attention is now turning to how the remaining preferences are shaking. Voting with the evaluation of selection can still change the result-any Mamdani commanding management, confirmation and strategic alliances indicate that it is well placed.
