New York Election: First Primary Results Published

The notion of announcing winners on the night of the New York vote is likely a thing of the past, because in the wondrous new world of absentee ballots and ranked voting, counting takes time. However, the preliminary results of the primaries in New York have already been announced. When to wait for the final, the publication told Pix 11.

Preliminary results of the primaries in the election of the mayor of New York

Edition NY1 has already published a preliminary list of leaders among candidates for mayor of New York. Among the Republicans, Curtis Sliva is clearly in the lead, with more than 70% of the vote, while Fernando Mateo has only 29%.

As for the Democrats, the gap between Eric Adams and Maya Wiley is just over 2% in favor of the former, so it can still change after further calculations.

When to expect the final results of the primaries

A week after voting day, June 29 - full information about the ratings of candidates, compiled by those who voted at the polling stations.

Two weeks after voting day, July 6, more than 100 absentee ballots will be entered into the system and a second count will be made in the rating vote.

It is highly likely that the July 6th calculation will determine the winners of most races. The only unaccounted votes by that time are a few absentee ballots, which people will have the right to correct due to simple mistakes such as missing a signature, etc.

Three weeks after Election Day, July 12, all absentee ballots will be scanned and a third and final count will take place. These results are official.

Historically, the vast majority of winners have been in the lead in the first round, but not always, so surprises are still possible.
