NEW YORK (Reuters) -The New York City Election board on Tuesday confirmed a stunning victory by mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in the Democratic primary, clearing the way for the political upstart to be the party's nominee for the November mayoral election.

Voter turnout in New York City’s 2025 Democratic mayoral primary increased dramatically among younger and first-time voters. Early ballots more than doubled compared to 2021, and participation from first-time Democratic primary voters,

Tuesday’s release includes ranked choice tabulations of all in-person votes and mail-in votes received and processed by Election Day. The BOE will continue to release tabulations for any remaining ballots, including cured affidavit ballots, on a weekly basis.

Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani could clinch victory Tuesday when the New York City Board of Elections releases the first look at the ranked-choice voting results from the June 24 primary.

By January, state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Assembly Members Zohran Mamdani and Harvey Epstein could all be serving in city government, triggering special elections to replace them in the state Legislature.

Boca Mayor Scott Singer says a win by Zohran Mamdani in the New York City mayoral election could open the gates for a surge of businesses to his city.

Zohran Mamdani, an outspoken critic of Israel, is the expected Democratic nominee for mayor in America’s most Jewish city and that's raising alarms among some in the New York's Jewish community.

Governor Kathy Hochul is still leading her Democratic primary competition, according to a poll of New York voters.

Whether former Gov. Andrew Cuomo or Assembly Member Zohran Mamdami wins the June 24 primary, a rematch is possible in November.
