New York City mayor primary: Where the polls are, when they open and close
The final hours of voting in the New York City mayoral primary elections start the morning of June 24.
The marquee race on the ranked choice ballot is for the Democratic nomination for mayor between former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and a slate, led primarily by New York State Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani.
The race could provide a bellwether for the larger Democratic party as the coalition seeking to repel Cuomo has framed the choice facing New Yorkers as one between an older, moderate political establishment and a youthful, progressive vision for the party that lost the White House in November.
Early voting, which closed June 22, showed a more than double the number of check ins than the 2021 race that handed the Democratic nomination for one of the most visible mayorships in the nation to Eric Adams – who will run in the general election as an independent.
The New York City Board of Elections reported that its unofficial count of early votes in 2025 is 384,338, while AMNY reported that the board said 191,197 people voted early in 2021.
Here's where New Yorkers can vote on Election Day for the primary and how long the polls will remain open on June 24.

Here's How the N.Y.C. Mayoral Results May Emerge
We are unlikely to know the winner of the Democratic primary race for mayor on primary night. Polls show a close contest between two candidates, former Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. In the ranked-choice election, voters can select up to five candidates in order of preference, and if neither man gets more than 50 percent of the first-place votes on Tuesday, a series of subsequent rounds will tally the final results based on voters' second-through-fifth-place choices. But that count will not take place until July 1, a week after the election, because absentee, mail-in and affidavit votes, which can be important in a close race, can be received and counted up until then. Polls close in New York at 9 p.m., and first results will start to come shortly after that. Here's what else you'll need to know ahead of Primary Day: The math of ranked-choice voting This is New York's second mayoral primary election using the ranked-choice voting system. Vote counting proceeds in rounds, with the last-place candidate eliminated in each round. If a voter's top choice is eliminated, the vote is then transferred to the voter's next choice. Elimination rounds continue until there are two candidates left and one gets more than 50 percent of the vote. Most reliable polls suggest that neither Mr. Mamdani nor Mr. Cuomo will receive more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round of vote counting on Tuesday night. But their performances will offer a look at who has the upper hand: The closer a candidate is to 50 percent, the better chance that candidate has to win in the end. The first results to come in on Tuesday night, from a period of early voting that began more than a week ago, are likely to favor Mr. Mamdani. That's because a jump in the number of early voters this year appears to be driven by younger voters, who tend to prefer Mr. Mamdani. Bill Knapp, a strategist and consultant for Fix the City, the pro-Cuomo super PAC that has raised roughly $25 million from billionaire donors and corporate interests, acknowledged that the first votes counted would probably not favor Mr. Cuomo.

House Dems. introduce bill to limit Trump's war powers on Iran
President Donald Trump is joined by his national security team, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio (right), in the Situation Room of the White House in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, June 21, 2025, as U.S. bombers executed strikes on the Islamic Republic of Iran's nuclear infrastructure. On Monday, Democratic lawmakers introduction a resolution to restrain his ability to go to war with Iran. Photo via The White House/UPI | License Photo June 24 (UPI) -- House Democrats of the foreign affairs, armed services and intelligence committees have introduced a War Powers Act resolution to rein in President Donald Trump's ability to make war with Iran after he bombed the Middle Eastern country over the weekend. The brief two-page resolution introduced Monday directs Trump to remove the U.S. military "from hostilities" with Iran aside from those protecting the U.S. mainland, and prevents him from going to war against Iran without congressional authorization, as is required by the War Powers Resolution of 1973. "President Trump must not be allowed to start a war with Iran, or any country, without Congressional approval," Reps. Gregory Meeks, ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Adam Smith, ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee and Jim Himes, ranking member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said Monday in a joint statement. On Saturday night, Trump directed the U.S. military to bomb three nuclear facilities in Iran. The bombing, followed by Trump making statements about regime change in Tehran, raised concerns that the United States would be entering into another war in the Middle East, and without congressional approval. The resolution, however, was introduced just hours after Trump claimed Iran and Israel had agreed to a cease-fire. The three Democratic lawmakers said that despite Trump's claims that the nuclear facilities were "obliterated," they still do not know whether the strikes eliminated Iran's nuclear weapons capabilities. "The administration has offered no clear strategy," they said in support of their resolution. "Without a coherent strategy for preventing Iran's program from bouncing back, including through diplomacy, we risk further escalation. No thoughtful deliberation nor careful planning occurred here -- and serious actions demand serious debate, not professional impulse." The resolution is a competing motion to a bipartisan measure introduced last week by Reps. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., and Ro- Khanna, D-Calif. The measures come as lawmakers, primarily Democrats, seek to restrain Trump's powers to prevent what they fear could be another Middle Eastern quagmire, just a few short years after the U.S. finally exited Afghanistan. A dozen Democratic lawmakers who served in the U.S. armed forces issued a letter Monday voicing their support for a War Powers Act resolution, stating "we refuse to make those same mistakes." "We can all agree that more debate was needed before Iraq and Afghanistan," they said in the joint letter. "We need to take the time to learn from our mistakes. We need to take the time to involve both the American people and Congress -- this is what our Founders intended, and that is what the Constitution requires." The 12 lawmakers are Reps. Salud Carbajal, D-Calif., Gil Cisneros, D-Calif., Herb Conaway, D-N.J., Chris Deluzio, D-Pa., Maggie Goodlander, D-N.H., Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa., Ted Lieu, D-Calif., Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., Pat Ryan, D-N.Y., Bobby Scott, D-Va., Derek Tran, D-Calif., and Eugene Vindman, D-Va.

Intelligence leaders are set to brief Congress on Trump's Iran strikes
WASHINGTON (AP) — Members of Congress will hear directly from President Donald Trump's intelligence leaders Tuesday, receiving classified briefings just three days after Trump directed strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities and a day after Iran struck a U.S. base in Qatar. The briefings also come the day after Trump proclaimed on social media that Israel and Iran had agreed that there will be an 'Official END' of their conflict. Democrats in Congress, along with some Republicans, have questions about Trump's unilateral decision to launch military action, arguing he should have come to Congress for approval — or at least provided more justification for the attacks. 'We expect them to explain to the American people what were the results in terms of actually thwarting Iran's capacity to become a nuclear power and what are the Trump administration's plans to avoid another potentially disastrous war in the Middle East, where thousands of American lives are potentially at risk,' said House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries. The separate briefings for the House and Senate will be led by CIA Director John Ratcliffe and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, along with Gen. Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and deputy secretaries of state Christopher Landau and Steve Feinberg. The meetings could turn contentious as many lawmakers feel they have been left in the dark on what led to the strikes and amid escalating tensions between the White House and Congress over the role of the United States internationally — disagreements that don't always fall along party lines. Democrats have been generally suspicious of Trump's strategy, and his motives abroad, but some believe the U.S. could have a role in supporting Israel against Iran. Others strongly believe the U.S. should stay out of it. Some of Trump's strongest Republican supporters agree with the Democrats, echoing his earlier arguments against 'forever wars.' But many others in the party enthusiastically backed the strikes, saying he should have the power to act on his own. 'President Trump deserves all the credit,' said House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., after Trump said there would be a ceasefire between Israel and Iran. 'This is what peace through strength looks like.' Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, suggested in a post on X that Trump should be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., posted: 'Historic! The President of Peace!' Democrats said they would be looking for more information about the ceasefire that Trump claimed on social media. Israel and Iran did not immediately acknowledge any ceasefire. After Iran's retaliation on the U.S. base in Qatar on Monday, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said he wanted an additional classified briefing 'laying out the full threat picture, the intelligence behind Iran's retaliation, and the details, scope, and timeline of any U.S. response.' Senate Democrats are also forcing a vote as soon as this week on a resolution by Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., requiring congressional approval for specific military action in Iran. 'You have a debate like this so that the entire American public, whose sons and daughters are in the military and whose lives will be at risk in war, get to see the debate and reach their own conclusion together with the elected officials about whether the mission is worth it or not,' Kaine said Monday. Communication between the White House and Congress about Iran has been limited for most members. Trump sent congressional leaders a short letter Monday serving as his official notice of the strikes, two days after the bombs fell. Trump said the attacks were 'limited in scope and purpose' and 'designed to minimize casualties, deter future attacks and limit the risk of escalation.' Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat, said he wants to ask the intelligence officials what they know about the damage done by the bombings, and how successful they were. 'There's a reason why the Constitution requires the Congress to be informed and the president to seek approval in beginning a war, which is the founders thought that the people should have a say, that the president shouldn't act alone,' Blumenthal said. ___ Associated Press writers Matt Brown, Joey Cappelletti and Lisa Mascaro contributed to this report.
