In New York City, Democrats select their mayoral candidate, some candidates have taken a slightly different approach.

The election is perhaps the highest-profile yet to utilize Order-of-Preference Voting an interesting electoral system where those who are registered Democrats can vote for a first, second, third an so on.

Voters rank their options from one to five. First-choice votes are counted first. If no candidate obtains a majority, the candidate with the least support is removed from the ballot and the first-choice votes for him are reassigned to the second-choice of his voters. If there is still no majority, the candidate with the least support is again discarded; this continues until a candidate has more than half of the total vote.

I am neither a Democrat nor a registered Republican, so I have to wait until the general election. However, one of my NYC neighbors who boasts about being an expert supports Eric Adams. He's been wrong before, so I will wait and watch to see.
