What you need to know – NBC New York

The months leading up to New York City’s General Election have caused a lot of buzz.

Political analysts across the country are keeping a close eye on the outcome, seeing them as a litmus test — specifically the race for mayor, where a self-described socialist democrat, Zohran Mamdani, is facing-off against former New York governor, Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent, and Curtis Sliwa, who is running under the Republican Party.

Even though the mayoral race is the most talked-about race in the city’s general elections, there are other races taking place, including that for city comptroller, public advocate, a few city council seats and district attorney, among others.

With this in mind, registered voters should know that, while Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 4, early voting period runs from Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025 to Sunday, Nov. 2, 2025.

Below you will find the early voting days and hours, according to the NYC Board of Elections.

Registered voters can find their assigned early voting poll site via the NYC Board of Elections’ poll site locator.
