The 2025 New York City mayoral election is scheduled to occur on November 4, 2025. The incumbent, Mayor Eric Adams, was elected mayor on the Democratic Party line in 2021, but is seeking re-election to a second term as an independent. He was indicted on federal corruption charges in September 2024 and has faced calls to resign from office. The Department of Justice ordered prosecutors to drop the charges against Adams in February 2025, and the case was dismissed with prejudice in April 2025.
Primary elections for the Democratic Party were held on June 24, 2025, with the early voting period beginning on June 14. State assemblymember Zohran Mamdani is the presumptive Democratic nominee for mayor; Mamdani is believed to have prevailed in the primary, which also featured ten other candidates, including former governor Andrew Cuomo, City Comptroller Brad Lander, Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, and former City Comptroller Scott Stringer. The Republican Party nominated Curtis Sliwa, the party's 2021 mayoral nominee.
The primary elections were conducted with ranked-choice voting, while the general election will use the first-past-the-post system.
