Fox News
Brooklyn Borough President and former police captain Eric Adams narrowed his lead in the race for New York City mayor, according to preliminary tabulations from the Board of Elections in Round 11 of ranked-choice voting.
Under New York City’s new ranked-choice voting system, voters can choose their top five candidates in order. If no candidate receives a majority of votes in the first round, election officials knock off the candidate with the least amount of first-choice votes and count the second-choice option on the ballots that ranked the losing candidate highest. In the 10th round of elimination, Adams had been in first with 41% of votes, Garcia in second with 30% and progressive, former Mayor Bill de Blasio staffer Maya Wiley had 29%. Garcia received a significant boost from Wiley’s elimination in the 11th round.More Related News
