New Yorkers have until February 14 to change their party affiliation in preparation for the upcoming mayoral election slated for November 4. Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani highlighted the deadline in a recent X video, urging citizens to register as Democrats due to their majority in the city. With registered Democrats outnumbering Republicans 6 to 1, the Democratic primary on June 24 is particularly influential. Additionally, a notable number of over a million unaffiliated voters may play a decisive role in shaping the election outcomes.
Although the next mayoral election is not until November, you only have a few days left to switch your party affiliation.
Registered Democrats outnumber Republicans 6 to 1 in New York City, and the winner of the June 24 Democratic mayoral primary has a high likelihood of prevailing in the general election.
Just over a million people are registered without party affiliation—a large block of voters that could sway an election.
Early conversations about the upcoming elections pin current Mayor Eric Adams against state Senators Zellnor Myrie and Jessica Ramon, city Comptroller Brad Lander and possibly former Governor Andrew Cuomo.
