Check key election results in the NYC Democratic primary
The latest election results in the New York City mayor race show Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani winning the Democratic nomination after ranked choice voting rounds were counted.
The New York City Board of Elections released the results Tuesday, showing Mamdani with 56% of the vote.
"I am humbled by the support of more than 545,000 New Yorkers in last week's primary. This is just the beginning of our expanding coalition to make New York City affordable. And we will do it together," Mamdani posted on social media after the results were posted.
Mamdani claims victory on election night
Former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo had said he congratulated Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani on primary night for winning the crowded Democratic primary for mayor.
"Tonight was Assemblyman Mamdani's night, and he put together a great campaign, and he touched young people and he inspired them and moved them and got them to come out and vote," Cuomo told his supporters just before 10:30 p.m. on election night. "And he really ran a highly impactful campaign. I called him. I congratulated him. I applaud him sincerely for his effort."
"Tonight, we made history," Mamdani later said to a crowd of his supporters as he claimed victory. "In the words of Nelson Mandela, 'It always seems impossible until it is done.' My friends, we have done it. I will be your Democratic nominee for the mayor of New York City."
CBS News estimated a turnout of 1.1 million primary election voters, with most voting in person on Election Day. That's more than a third of registered Democrats in the city, and a noticeably higher turnout than the 2021 primary.
Since no candidate crossed the 50% threshold on primary night, ranked choice voting rounds were required. The candidate with the least amount of votes was eliminated, and then the voters who ranked that candidate as their first choice had their second choices counted, and so on. Those ranked choice voting rounds continued until one candidate exceeded 50% of the vote.
Now on to November general election
Cuomo previously announced he would run on both the Democratic and independent tickets so he could be on the ballot for the November general election, whether he won the primary or not. He spoke with CBS News New York's political reporter Marcia Kramer last week and said he was still weighing his options.
"We're going to be looking at the numbers that come in from the primary, and then we have to look at the landscape in the general election, which is a totally different landscape," Cuomo said in their exclusive interview.
Mamdani and Cuomo will face Mayor Eric Adams, who is running as an independent, Republican Curtis Sliwa, and Jim Walden, a former prosecutor also running as an independent.
While all eyes were on the mayoral election, it wasn't the only race that voters weighed in on. They also ranked their choices for New York City public advocate, comptroller, Manhattan district attorney, as well as Manhattan, Brooklyn and Bronx borough presidents, among other races.
