The NYC mayoral race results are typically announced starting shortly after polls close at 9:00 PM Eastern Time on Election Day, with preliminary results from early and mail-in ballots, and final results sometimes taking longer if the race is close or if absentee ballots require more processing. In past cycles, major outlets and the NYC Board of Elections provide live updates and projections within hours after polls close. If you’re asking about the 2025 election, most outlets reported results or projections within the late-evening hours, with media partners often declaring a winner once a clear margin is established.
