NYC elections officials began releasing preliminary results Wednesday from ranked-choice voting in last week’s City Council primaries — but those results may change in the coming weeks as additional ballots are tallied. Here’s what to know:
after preliminary results indicated that he will be the clear winner even if it does proceed to ranked choice voting.
The Board of Elections says it will release at least two rounds of preliminary ranked choice voting results, including those released Wednesday and again on Tuesday, July 11. The results will not be final until all outstanding votes have been counted and the elections are certified. The deadline to receive absentee ballots is Wednesday. The certification date has not been set; however, it is not expected before July 17, which is the last day to resolve any remaining ballot issues.
The opposite could also happen: A candidate might be hovering just under the 50% mark in the initial results, which would throw the race into the ranked choice voting process, even though that candidate may end up with a majority of first-choice votes once all the ballots have been counted. For example, in the District 9 race, updated results from the Board of Elections put Salaam in first place but just short of the 50% mark, which would trigger the ranked choice voting process.
