The 2021 New York City Council elections were held on November 2, 2021. The primary elections were held on June 22, 2021.[2] There were several special elections for seats vacated in 2020 and early 2021; these special elections were the first to use ranked-choice voting in city council elections after it was approved by a ballot question in 2019[3] and the second to use ranked-choice voting since New York City repealed PR-STV in 1945.[4] Due to redistricting after the 2020 Census, candidates also ran for two-year terms instead of four-year terms for the first time, stemming from the New York City Charter overhaul in 1989.[5] Four-year terms will resume in the 2025 election after another two-year election in 2023.
