Direct answer: In New York City, results for the 2025 mayoral election were projected on Election Night, with Pelham Mamdani (Zohran Mamdani) declared the winner as the votes were tallied, and final results widely reported within hours after polls closed. The official results were updated by election authorities and major outlets through the night and into the following day, with media organizations providing live projections as vote counts continued. In many large-city races like NYC, 90–95% of ballots are typically tallied by late evening, with final certified results issued days to a couple of weeks later depending on provisional ballots and any recounts. If you’d like, I can pull the latest official certification date and the final certified vote totals from the NYC Board of Elections or summarize how the final tally compared to polls.
