Eric Adams Absent from NYC Mayoral Polls Despite Historic Voter Turnout

Mayor Eric Adams has notably missed participating in the New York City mayoral polls, which are expected to have historic voter turnout. This election season has been significant, especially since Adams previously suspended his bid for reelection in September.

Eric Adams’ Absence from the Mayoral Race

As of Tuesday afternoon, Eric Adams had not cast his vote in the general election. His absence was particularly striking, given his efforts to support Andrew Cuomo, a candidate against Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani. Adams’ spokesperson, Todd Shapiro, emphasized the importance of voter turnout, urging New Yorkers to participate.

Election Day Highlights

• Date of Election: November 4, 2025
• Key Candidates:
  • Andrew Cuomo
  • Zohran Mamdani (current frontrunner)
• Expected Voter Turnout: Historic levels

His absence from the polls raised questions, especially in light of his previous efforts to help dethrone Mamdani. Adams had switched his support from a contentious relationship with Cuomo, who he previously criticized as a “snake and a liar.”

Despite not being on the ballot, Adams remains engaged in city affairs, assuring the public that his commitment to New York continues. He stated through his spokesperson, “This city is my home — and like you, I’ll always be here fighting for it.”

Implications for the Mayoral Race

Adams’ lack of visibility during such a pivotal time reflects the political dynamics within the city. The absence of a frequently vocal supporter for Cuomo may impact voter sentiments as the election unfolds.
