The previous record for a Democratic mayoral primary has been held since 1989, when David Dinkins bested Ed Koch in a non-ranked-choice election with 547,000 votes. 

In the 2021 democratic mayoral primary, Eric Adams received just over 404,000 votes in the final round of ranked choice — with around 50,000 of those votes getting transferred to him. 

Mamdani’s totals are expected to grow as while a small percent of ballots are still being counted.

A campaign representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
