The polls are now open this Election Day morning, Tuesday, in the 2025 NYC Mayor’s race between Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa.
In what looks to be the largest voter turnout in decades, hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are expected to visit the more than 14,000 polling places open today across the five boroughs and cast their votes in the mayoral race as well as separate contests for other citywide offices, as well as judgeships and several ballot questions impacting the City Charter.
More than 730,000 people took part in early voting in this race — a record for a non-presidential election year in New York City, and a reflection of the energy and attention the contest between Mamdani, Cuomo, and Sliwa has drawn locally and nationally.
Polls will be open today from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Throughout the day, amNewYork reporters and photographers will be at polling sites across the city talking with voters about how they voted and why. Their reports will be posted here throughout the day Tuesday.
After the polls close tonight, amNewYork reporters will be at the Election Night parties for all three mayoral candidates and provide results on the big race as they come in.
