In June, New Yorkers selected Eric Adams and Curtis Sliva as the main Democratic and Republican candidates for mayor of New York, respectively. At the end of October - beginning of November, we have to determine which of the two candidates will take the chair of the head of the city in January 2022, reports Gothamist.
The next mayor will take office during the ongoing pandemic. He will need to spearhead a massive effort to revitalize the economy and transform the city, among a host of other pressing issues. Here's what you need to know before heading to the polls and casting your vote.
When can you vote
Early voting will begin in New York tomorrow, October 23rd, and will last until October 31st; general voting day - November 2 (polling stations will be open from 6:00 to 21:00).
The last day for sending an absentee ballot is November 2 (according to the postmark on the envelope).

In addition, the ballot will include candidates for judicial positions, for the post of city controller, public defender, several district attorneys, as well as candidates for the city council. Russian-speaking candidates for the City Council of New York can be found at this stuff.
When will we know the winner
If there are no surprises, we will find out the results of the mayoral elections on the night of November 3. By that time, the absentee ballots still have not been counted, so the results will be unofficial. But absentee ballots are unlikely to change the leader of the race, so these results can be considered final.
