2021 New York City Council election
Elections for members of the New York City Council will be held on November 2, 2021. The primary election will occur on June 22, 2021.[1] The primaries will be the first to use ranked-choice voting after it was approved by a ballot question in 2019.[2] Due to potential redistricting from the 2020 Census, candidates will also run for 2-year terms instead of 4-year terms for the first time, stemming from the New York City Charter overhaul in 1989.[3] 4-year terms will resume in the 2025 election.
