The countdown is on to Election Day in NYC, as voters prepare to choose between Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa for mayor.

Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani remains the front-runner and former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is trying to catch him, while Curtis Sliwa refuses to be forced from the race. More than 200,000 ballots have already been cast.

A new Suffolk poll shows Cuomo closing in on Mamdani in the NYC mayor race — and one expert says Curtis Sliwa’s voters could tip the scale.

In New York City, all eyes are on the race for mayor as frontrunner and Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa are making campaign appearances and headlines regularly. Meanwhile, the race for the governor of New Jersey is heating up between Mikie Sherrill and Jack Ciattarelli.

New York City is about to pick its next mayor—and this one’s not a sleepy civics quiz. After a noisy primary season and a final debate that seems to have actually moved a few needles, the race heads to the finish line with early voting starting tomorrow, October 25, and Election Day on November 4.

More than five times as many people went to cast ballots on the first day of early voting Saturday in the New York City mayoral election compared to 2021, according to the city Board of Elections. Voters are deciding whether Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo or Curtis Sliwa will succeed Eric Adams — who won the 2021 race.

More people are heading to the polls across New York City on Sunday for day two of in-person early voting. Nearly 80,000 voters cast their ballots when polls officially opened for day one of early voting on Saturday.

On Sunday night, Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani welcomed fellow progressives Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-Queens/The Bronx) to a rally at Forest Hills Stadium. "This mayor's race, my friends, is different," Sanders told the crowd. "It is not just the folks here in New York City who are paying attention."

Nearly 80,000 Big Apple voters turned out to cast their ballots as early voting kicked off Saturday – a figure nearly five times higher than the early voter turnout seen in 2021, according to

Sunshine State Gov. Ron DeSantis suggested that a Zohran Mamdani mayorship in New York City would benefit Republicans politically because voters would get to see "his leftist agenda in action"
