In 2019, New York City voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure to adopt ranked choice voting by a margin of nearly 3-1. Since 2021, all New York City primaries and special elections for Mayor, Comptroller, Public Advocate, Borough President and City Council use ranked choice voting. During the last Mayoral primary, nearly one million New Yorkers made history by voting in the largest and most diverse ranked choice voting election in U.S. history. Voters overwhelmingly embraced RCV, with 85% of voters ranking at least two candidates on their ballots in the mayoral primary.
