It’s Election Day, New York City! Time to get out there and cast your vote!
The polls officially opened at 6 a.m. today, with several New Yorkers getting up early to cast their votes. The polls will be open until 9 p.m. tonight.
The race to watch this year is the one for New York City mayor, where Democratic nominee Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams is up against Republican nominee and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa.
Earlier this morning, Adams cast his vote at his designated polling place, P.S. 81 in Brooklyn. Carrying a photo of his late mother, he broke into tears when speaking of going with her to vote in 1974, and his prospects of becoming the next mayor.
