Queens Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani culminated a meteoric political rise Tuesday by scoring a decisive victory in a polarizing mayoral election.
At just 34 years old, he will become the youngest mayor in over a century, the first Muslim to lead New York City and one of the most prominent democratic socialists holding elected office in the country.
More than 2 million New Yorkers cast a ballot overall, according to the Board of Elections, a turnout not seen since the 1969 mayoral election.
THE CITY takes a deep dive into who turned out to vote for Mamdani and rivals Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa, and how city neighborhoods shaped a historic mayoral race.
