AP Decision Notes: What to expect in New York on Election Day
Voters will fill two state Senate vacancies and decide key mayoral contests amid changing political dynamics, with early ballots already numbering nearly 1 million, officials said.
- On Tuesday, New York City will choose its next mayor, with Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a 34-year-old state assembly member, facing former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent.
- Moderate Democrats and congressional leaders have distanced themselves from Mamdani, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries endorsing him on Oct. 24 while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer had yet to weigh in.
- Under New York state election law, an automatic recount triggers in races with more than 1 million votes if the margin is fewer than 5,000 votes, and ranked-choice voting recounts occur round by round.
- The Associated Press will provide vote results and declare winners in the New York City municipal and Buffalo mayoral elections, and one statewide ballot proposal, explaining if no call is made.
- The contest carries national implications because the mayoral outcome could shape the Democratic Party, with Republicans linking Mamdani to far-left policies and President Donald Trump labeling him `communist`.
