General elections for members of the New York City Council will be held on November 2, 2021. The primary elections will be held on June 22, 2021.[1] There are several special elections for seats vacated in 2020 and early 2021; these special elections will be the first to use ranked-choice voting in city council elections after it was approved by a ballot question in 2019.[2] Due to redistricting after the 2020 Census, candidates will also run for two-year terms instead of four-year terms for the first time, stemming from the New York City Charter overhaul in 1989.[3] Four-year terms will resume in the 2025 election after another two-year election in 2023.

The 48th district is currently vacant. The incumbent was Democrat Chaim Deutsch, who was term-limited and could not run for a third consecutive term.

In the 50th district, incumbent Republican Steven Matteo is term-limited and cannot run for a third consecutive term. He filed to run for Staten Island Borough President, but lost the Republican primary to Vito Fossella.

Campaign[]

The two frontrunners for the open council seat were David Carr, chief of staff to outgoing councilman Matteo, and Marko Kepi, a Marine reservist who had previously lost in a campaign for the New York General Assembly.[452][450] The race became contentious as results were tabulated, with Carr accusing Kepi of engaging in an illegal ballot harvesting operation and forging signatures on absentee ballots.[452] In response, Kepi accused Carr of using his influence to get the New York City Board of Elections to systematically reject ballots cast by the Albanian-American community.[453]
