NYC Council poised to have a majority of women members

NYC Council poised to have a majority of women members Women are poised to take over the New York City Council. As the city Board of Elections continues to sift through mail-in ballots and sort out ranked-choice voting from last Tuesday’s primary election, more than half of the open Council seats are leaning toward women candidates. The results aren’t final yet, but if they hold it would represent a significant shift in the makeup of the city’s legislative body. “I think it will be fairer a fairer, more just governing body,” predicted Elizabeth Crowley, a former councilwoman who’s now waiting on election results to see if she’ll become the next Queens borough president.

City Council poised to make strides in gender diversity

SHARE: The 21 in ’21 movement, it turns out, may have been too modest a goal. As results from the first round of ranked-choice voting poured in, at least 22 women appeared likely to win their New York City Council primaries and are heavily favored to win as Democrats in November’s general election. That would exceed the goal set by the 21 in ’21 campaign to elect this year 21 women to the City Council, a body that has historically failed to reflect the gender diversity of New York City. Initial results released by the city Board of Elections on Tuesday night only reflected the first-choice votes of ballots cast in person. Absentee ballots still have to be tallied and some of the closer races will go into further rounds of ranked-choice vote counting. All of that means that some of the initial results could still change, which is why the 21 in ’21 campaign said Wednesday afternoon that they’re “encouraged” by the results, stopping short of declaring an all-out victory.
