The Race for New York City Mayor
One day after releasing flawed ranked-choice tabulations, the New York City Board of Elections issued updated numbers late Wednesday — along with an apology.
The updated tallies show Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams maintained a narrow 2-point lead in the Democratic mayoral primary, down from his 9-point lead on Primary Night, with the top three candidates reshuffled as they were on Tuesday, but this time by much smaller margins.
These results are still unofficial and only based on the in-person votes cast during early voting and on Primary Day.
