‘It’s Exciting!’: New Yorkers Cast Ballots With Hopes of a New City for All Share this story Hiram Alejandro Durán/THE CITY As New Yorkers voted on Primary Day, many said they were struggling to adjust to a lot of things. While more than 190,000 New Yorkers cast ballots during the early-voting period that began June 12, the unusual timing of the election in June, rather than the traditional September paired with the debut of ranked choice voting introduced some new wrinkles. So did an unusually crowded field of candidates seeking seats from City Hall to City Council. THE CITY fanned out across the five boroughs on a rainy Tuesday to talk to New Yorkers weary after an intense and confusing campaign season conducted in the middle of a pandemic. But all were united by a determination to cast their vote for a better future.
SHARE: New York City voters’ first major tryout of ranked-choice voting may be over, but now the work of tallying votes – including absentee ballots still yet to be returned – begins. As of late Tuesday night, few of the more than 300 candidates in three dozen open City Council districts were decisively declaring victory or conceding defeat. While Council Members Carlina Rivera, Rafael Salamanca Jr. and Farah Louis were a few of the Democrats to face primaries as incumbents, those challenges weren’t particularly competitive and each of the incumbents swon easy victories. And a few new City Council candidates also won, with Democrat Jennifer Gutierrez and Republican Joann Ariola, who The New York Times declared as the winners in the 34th and 32nd Council Districts, respectively.
