Get to Know Your City Council District and Its 2025 Candidates

All of New York City’s 51 City Council seats are up for grabs in 2025’s elections, and some of those races are crowded, competitive contests.

These down ballot races receive less attention than the top-of-the-ballot mayoral race. But City Council members have a lot of power over neighborhood-level policy, and the contests to elect them deserve your attention.

To help you understand who is running and how your neighbors vote in your local district, we’ve created this guide, which will give you key information about demographics and voting patterns of your corner of the city.
