Preliminary results in contests for all five borough presidents and nearly four-dozen New York City Council seats were finally released late Friday night following a two-day delay and counting snafuearlier this week by the New York City Board of Election.
But the latest tabulation did not incorporate absentee ballots, which may once again shift the rankings and final outcome. Most of those races, save for more than a dozen, will be decided through the city s new ranked-choice voting system. Ranked-choice voting advocates, including Councilmember Brad Lander, who is running for comptroller, have pushed the BOE to announce preliminary results to ensure the process was working, even if absentee ballots are not included.
