Resolution criteria

• Resolves to the single option matching the candidate certified by the NYC Board of Elections as the winner of the November 4, 2025 New York City mayoral general election. Use the first official certification; if a court-ordered change produces a different certified winner before certification is finalized, resolve to that final certification. Sources to verify: NYC BOE General Election 2025 page and the NYS Election Night Results/official results portals. (vote.nyc)

Background

• Election date: Tuesday, November 4, 2025 (polls 6am–9pm). Early voting runs Oct 25–Nov 2. (vote.nyc)

• Democratic nominee: Zohran Mamdani (state assemblymember). Andrew Cuomo (former NY governor) and incumbent Eric Adams are running as independents; Republican nominee is Curtis Sliwa. (politico.com)

• Cuomo confirmed he remained on the ballot as an independent (“Fight and Deliver”) after losing the June 24 Democratic primary to Mamdani. Adams is running on an independent “Safe & Affordable” line. (pbs.org)

Considerations

• NYC primaries use ranked-choice voting; the November general election is plurality-winner (no RCV). Expect multiple candidates to split the vote. (vote.nyc)

• Candidate withdrawals are possible; names may remain on the ballot and votes still count. Resolution depends only on the certified winner, not endorsements or suspensions. Verification via NYC/NYS BOE links above. (nyenr.elections.ny.gov)
