RANKED CHOICES is a free weekly newsletter that helps busy New Yorkers stay informed about the 2025 election, written by our City Hall reporter Katie Honan and THE CITY’s election team.

We’ll hit your inbox every Thursday afternoon with a look at what you should know about the campaign, with a lot of news voters can use about how local elections and power work.

This year’s campaign is going to be a doozy. The mayor is trying to win reelection while facing federal corruption charges, and he’s up against a crowded field, from which voters can rank up to five choices in the June primary. Also up in the air: all 51 seats in the City Council, the city comptroller, public advocate, all five borough presidents and two of the city’s five district attorneys.

Overwhelmed? Don’t be. We’ve got it covered! Let’s get ready to vote, New York.
