The district overlaps with Brooklyn Community Boards 10, 11, and 13, and with New York's 10th and 11th congressional districts. It also overlaps with the 22nd and 23rd districts of the New York State Senate, and with the 46th, 47th, 49th, 51st, and 64th districts of the New York State Assembly.[5]

In 2019, voters in New York City approved Ballot Question 1, which implemented ranked-choice voting in all local elections. Under the new system, voters have the option to rank up to five candidates for every local office. Voters whose first-choice candidates fare poorly will have their votes redistributed to other candidates in their ranking until one candidate surpasses the 50 percent threshold. If one candidate surpasses 50 percent in first-choice votes, then ranked-choice tabulations will not occur.[6]
