Democrat Zohran Mamdani, independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa are running a nationally watched race to replace outgoing Mayor Eric Adams. The latest polls show Mamdani holding onto his lead, but some have Cuomo narrowing the gap. Other offices on the ballot include public advocate, comptroller, borough presidents, City Council seats and judges. Three of the six ballot proposals have to do with City Council's role in land use decisions, while the other three relate to state land, a city map and election years.
