Early voting is here, and next Tuesday is an election day when hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers will cast their ballots to decide on a mayoral candidate and in dozens of down ballot races in the city’s primary elections.
After choosing your ranked slate of candidates, you’re going to want to know: Did your top picks win?
You’ll need to have some patience.
On election night, the city Board of Elections will release unofficial, first-choice-only votes after the polls close at 9 p.m. If one candidate wins over 50% of these votes, they’ll effectively bypass the rest of the ranked choice counting process — but with polling showing how close the election may be, that’s not too likely.
Instead, collecting all of the ballots and tabulating all of the ranked choices is going to take a bit longer: probably at least a week, according to the city’s Board of Elections.
Read more here for what to expect on election night — and why the process takes so long.

They're going to give you some guidance,’” said Greer. “Then it said, ‘They didn't say what we wanted them to say, so now listen to us.’” Hear her thoughts and much more.
