NYC Mayoral Election 2025: City Awaits Results After Historic Voter Turnout
New Yor City, November 04, 2025:
New York City concluded a pivotal election day on November 4, 2025, with polls closing at 9 p.m. EST, marking the end of a period of historic voter engagement. Millions of New Yorkers participated in a highly anticipated mayoral race, choosing among Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani (see bio), independent challenger Andrew Cuomo (bio), and Republican Curtis Sliwa (bio). As election officials begin tallying ballots (AP News, CBS News Live Updates), the city collectively awaits definitive results that will determine its next leader and direction.
The Contenders and Their Distinct Platforms
Zohran Mamdani, representing the Democratic and Working Families Party (party), upset Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary. He campaigned on urban affordability: freezing rent-stabilized units, public housing expansion, and greater landlord regulation.
Andrew Cuomo, running on the “Fight and Deliver” party line, took a centrist stance focused on public safety and steady governance, gaining support from outgoing Mayor Eric Adams (bio) and, controversially, former President Donald Trump (bio).
Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels (org), ran as an anti-Trump Republican with a “tough on crime” agenda and faced no opposition for the Republican nomination.
Record Turnout Highlights Key Voter Concerns
This election saw record voter turnout for a non-presidential year.
Early voting: 735,000+ check-ins, surpassing previous contests.
By 6 p.m. PST on Election Day: 1.7 million votes, highest for an NYC mayoral election in 30+ years (AP News, CBS News Live Updates).
Economic challenges led — AP Voter Poll found cost of living and housing were top concerns; crime and public safety shaped much of the campaign.

Campaign Dynamics: Endorsements, Debates, and Divisive Moments
Mamdani secured major endorsements from Kamala Harris (bio), Bernie Sanders (bio), Hakeem Jeffries (bio), and local union leaders.
Cuomo drew backing from Eric Adams (after his own legal victory), and also Elon Musk (bio) and Donald Trump, who lambasted Mamdani and threatened a federal takeover if he won.
Trump’s support for Cuomo had mixed effects, alienating some Democratic voters.
Mamdani, a US-Uganda dual citizen, endured attacks including Islamophobic, racist, and xenophobic remarks; Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (bio) apologized after false comments about Mamdani.
The rent-stabilized apartment controversy brought NYC’s housing debate into sharper focus.
