Short answer: New York City mayoral elections are held every four years. Details:
- NYC elects its mayor on a four-year cycle, with elections taking place in early November of the year after a U.S. presidential election year. The next regular mayoral election follows this pattern.
- The mayor takes office on January 1 of the year following the election.
- NYC uses ranked-choice voting for the mayoral race.
Notes:
- Occasionally there are discussions about aligning or consolidating election dates, but the standard practice for the mayoral race remains a four-year cycle with elections in November.
- For current, specific election-year details (candidates, timing windows for early voting, etc.), consult the latest official NYC Board of Elections resources or reputable current-news sources.
