Who are the candidates for mayor?

There are seven candidates for mayor of New York. The top three are socialist-Democrat Zohran Mamdani, a member of the state Assembly; independent Andrew M. Cuomo, former governor of New York state, and Republican Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels.

The three faced off both in the first debate and in the second mayoral debate.

Two other candidates dropped out of the race, but will still be on the ballot: independents Jim Walden and Eric Adams, the city's current mayor. In recent hours, Adams endorsed Cuomo.

The last two candidates are still campaigning, but they lagged in the polls, raised little money and did not participate in the debates: Irene Estrada and Joseph Hernandez.

What other offices are up for election, and are any ballot measures being voted on?

Voters will also decide the future of several key positions in the city and some districts, as well as several ballot measures.

The city will elect its next district attorney and city comptroller. It will also define the presidents of the five boroughs and fill more than 50 city council seats. Some areas will also elect prosecutors and judicial positions.

There are also six ballot measures in the fray, which can be found in the following official document:
