The 2025 New York City mayoral election is scheduled to be held on November 4, 2025. The current mayor, Eric Adams, was elected mayor in 2021 on the Democratic Party ticket, but is seeking re-election as an independent candidate. He was indicted on federal corruption charges in September 2024 and called to resign. The Justice Department ordered prosecutors to drop the charges against Adams in February 2025, and the case was dismissed with prejudice in April 2025.
The Democratic Party primary is scheduled for June 24, 2025, with early voting beginning on June 14. The Republican Party will not hold a primary; Curtis Sliwa is the Republican nominee for mayor. In New York City, primaries are held using ranked-choice voting, also known as immediate runoff voting.
