Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani has officially secured more votes than any other mayoral candidate in a New York City primary election, according to updated tallies released Tuesday by the city’s Board of Elections. The progressive Queens assemblyman received 565,639 votes in the third round of the city’s ranked-choice voting system — surpassing the previous record set by David Dinkins in 1989, who won his primary with 547,000 votes in a traditional, non-ranked-choice format. The updated totals reflect the transfer of approximately 102,000 votes to Mamdani from eliminated candidates in earlier rounds, giving him a decisive edge in the Democratic field.
