Eric Adams backed by Queens Jewish community coalition – The Forward

Eric Adams, one of the leading candidates for mayor of New York City, is expected to receive the endorsement of an influential Orthodox voting bloc in Queens on Friday. The endorsement of the Far Rockaway Jewish Alliance, which represents a large part of the Orthodox community in Queens, comes as Adams is seeking to solidify his standing in the polls and lock up more support from the city’s 1.1 million Jews. The group was instrumental in mobilizing the vote for Pesach Osina, a longtime member of the community, in the recent special election for the 31st Council District. Though Osina lost the election, he received 2,674 votes. A few thousand votes could be critical for candidates in next month’s ranked-choice primary.

Queens Ranked-Choice Vote Count Slogs in Special Election, With Key Decisions to Come

Ben Fractenberg/THE CITY The city Board of Elections on Tuesday began manually counting ballots in a southeast Queens special election with big questions still unanswered about how voters’ selections will be tallied and disclosed under New York’s new ranked-choice system. With ranking software yet to be authorized by the state, the start of adding up some 7,400 ballots cast for the City Council seat formerly held by Borough President Donovan Richards for the first round of ranking took all day. Under ranked choice voting, launched this year, voters can list up to five candidates in order of preference. About 95,000 voters were eligible to cast ballots in the district, which covers parts of Southeast Queens and the Rockaways.

NYC Begins Ranked-Choice Ballot Tally In Queens

arrow In Queens: The BOE s first election to require multiple rounds of counting under the new ranked-choice voting system Brigid Bergin / Gothamist In office space tucked into the hulking Metro Mall in Middle Village, dozens of Board of Elections employees, candidates, and observers made history Tuesday as they began to hand count ballots cast in the BOE s first election to require multiple rounds of counting under the new ranked-choice voting system. (This is the second time New York City has adopted a form of RCV, the first was in the 1930s.) The additional tallies were triggered when no one candidate received more than 50% of the vote in the February 23rd special election for the 31st City Council district in Queens. Selvena Brooks-Powers led in the nine-candidate contest with just over 38% of the vote, followed by Pesach Osina who trailed her by only 207 votes.
