The New York Election Board reports that more than 1.85 million voters cast ballots up until 6 PM local time, surpassing the 1.1 million votes cast in the 2021 election that saw Eric Adams defeat Curtis Sliwa. According to Reuters, voter turnout is expected to exceed two million ballots.

A voter said, “I voted straight down the democratic line because I feel the democratic party is for the people. I was very careful in making my selection…”

Mamdani has a simple reassurance for business leaders uneasy about his proposals for free public buses and higher taxes: “Don’t worry.”

According to a CBS News exit poll, President Donald Trump continued to play a major role in shaping voter decisions. When asked if Trump was a factor in their vote, 52% of voters in Virginia, 51% in New Jersey, and 58% in California said yes. In contrast, 59% of voters in New York said Trump was not a factor in their decision.

Voters across New York told Reuters that issues like safety, affordability, and the city’s long-term future are guiding their choices as Zohran Mamdani and Andrew Cuomo battle it out for the mayor’s seat.

As voting for the New York mayoral elections enters its final hours, New Yorkers are showing up in record numbers. Zohran Mamdani’s team remains upbeat, believing that the high voter turnout could work in their favour.

Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani suggested that the bomb threats reported at polling stations in New Jersey were connected to voter intimidation tactics inspired by Donald Trump.

In response, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt condemned Mamdani’s remarks, describing them as “completely irresponsible” and “without any factual basis.”

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio showed strong support for mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani.

The New York City Board of Elections reported that more than 1.1 million people have already checked in to vote, marking one of the highest turnouts in recent years.

Elon Musk took to X to criticize the New York City ballot, saying, “The New York City ballot form is a scam! No ID is required, and other mayoral candidates appear twice while Cuomo’s name is listed last in the bottom right.”

Independent mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo has welcomed former President Donald Trump’s endorsement, describing it as “very helpful” to his campaign for New York City mayor.

Cuomo took aim at frontrunner Zohran Mamdani, branding him a “radical socialist” whose leadership, he warned, would “bring socialism to the city.”

Independent mayoral candidate Andrew Cuomo cast his vote at a Manhattan school on Monday, encouraging New Yorkers to back him in his run to become the city’s next mayor.

New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani cast his vote at a high school in Astoria, Queens, accompanied by his wife, Rama Sawaf Duwaj.

US President Donald Trump has sparked new controversy in the New York City mayoral race, saying that any Jewish voter supporting Zohran Mamdani is “stupid.”

Trump accused Mamdani of being a “proven and self-professed Jew hater,” a claim that sharply contradicts the Democratic candidate’s record. Mamdani has consistently pledged to boost funding for investigations into anti-Semitic crimes in New York and has received backing from several Jewish leaders and organisations, according to NBC News.
