Polls in NYC generally close at 9 PM on Election Day, and counting of votes begins after polls close; early results often start streaming in once voting ends, with the first batch typically including early/in-person and some mail- in ballots. For the 2025 NYC mayoral election, expect official results to begin being reported around 9 PM with ongoing updates in the hours and days that follow, depending on the race’s closeness and the counting of provisional and mail ballots. If you’d like, I can confirm the exact timing for polling site hours and canvass start times from the City Board of Elections for this specific election.
