Early voting for the 2025 NYC Primary Election kicks off today and will run until June 22, with the primary election set for June 24.

New voters must register by today to participate in early voting or on Election Day, while those changing party enrollment had a deadline of February 14.

Under the New York Early Mail Voter Act, all voters can request an early mail ballot without needing to provide a reason.

Voters can find their polling locations and request early mail-in ballots through designated links, with sample ballots available at early voting sites.

The implementation of ranked-choice voting in New York City allows voters to rank candidates by preference, enhancing voter engagement.

This voting method was approved by 73.6% of voters in a 2019 ballot measure, enabling voters to rank up to five candidates.

If no candidate receives over 50% of first-choice votes, the candidate with the least votes is eliminated, and votes are redistributed until a winner is determined.

The Democratic mayoral primary features prominent candidates including former Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.

Incumbent Mayor Eric Adams is running for reelection as an independent, while Curtis Sliwa is the Republican candidate.

In the public advocate race, incumbent Jumaane Williams faces a challenge from Assemblymember Jenifer Rajkumar.

Democratic voters will select nominees for key positions including mayor, public advocate, and City Council seats, with the general election scheduled for November 4, 2025.

Voters can bring their own interpreters and access language interpretation services at select polling sites to ensure participation.
