"Polls officially close at 9 p.m. on Tuesday., but when exactly the race will be called will likely depend on a number of factors. In 2021, the Associated Press declared the race in favor of Eric Adams shortly after the polls closed, but that year's general election was hardly competitive with Adams receiving about 67 percent of the vote over Sliwa."
"Mamdani is entering the final hours of the race in the opposite position from that in which he began 2024, dominating the field with a double-digit margin that has dipped to ten points in some polling and risen as high as 25 in others. The only caveat: a pair of late polls from AtlasIntel found Mamdani with merely a single-digit lead over Cuomo in both polls - a stark contrast with other polling."
Polls officially close at 9 p.m., and the timing of an election call will depend on early returns and margins. The 2021 race was called quickly for Eric Adams after polls closed, but a more competitive contest could delay a call. Mamdani enters the final hours leading by double-digit margins in many polls, with some surveys showing a ten-point or larger lead and others as high as 25 points. Two late AtlasIntel polls showed only a single-digit lead over Cuomo. Early voting reached 735,317 by the final day, surpassing prior mayoral early totals and suggesting historically high turnout that may favor Mamdani.
