Does somebody knows how to improve this article ? I can't find election results for NYC Mayor before 2001. We know that in 1997, Giuliani won by a large margin, carrying 4 out of 5 boroughs (I presume he lost only in The Bronx, and that the 1993 and 1989 elections were close races, but that doesn't make an article. -- Revas 21:45, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Found election results for NYC mayor's race (99% precincts reporting) at CNN site. Added simple chart (borough breakdown was not available.) http://www.cnn.com/ALLPOLITICS/1997/gen/resources/election97/results.html
Added Mayor Giuliani's name to line 2. Nhprman 19:05, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
I'm going to start a serious clean-up of this page - making the election results uniform to other Wikipedia pages, adding more results, and adding more details about the elections. 67.160.106.255 02:39, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm surprised that nobody noticed that there were two elecitons missing. Impy, O'Brian, and Holy Joe were all mayors, too, ya know!!
The 1932 and '50 special elections were quite unusual, espeically since Impy was elected as an independent.
Also, the NYC Young Repbublicans club has a website and there, I found out which nonentities were nominated by the Republcians for Mayor in 1953 and '57, plus Louis Lefkowitz, who wasn't a nonentity.

Are there records of the votes Fusion candidates got on their respective tickets, i.e. at the last election, how many Bloomberg got as a Republican and as an Independence candidate? -- William Quill 11:09, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
I took a lot of time to compose this chart to show the winners in boldface. However, I also found that the natural impulse to [[frame]] the candidates' names so the reader could link directly to the candidate's Wikipedia article made the patterns of victory and defeat almost unreadable, so please resist the temptation. However, when we can find another way of showing wins and losses, I think that such Wikipedia links would be very desirable. (I have included such links to the minor parties and their abbreviations.)

There are some very strong arguments both for keeping this long article intact (unbroken) and for breaking it into smaller articles, either topically or (more likely) chronologically between 1897-1949 and 1950-2009 (no overlapping candidates). I started this section of the discussion page to hear what other readers and contributors think. (By the way, although I have added most of the bulk to this article, I myself use a small, modest computer with a slow telephone dial-up connection.) Shakescene ( talk) 06:59, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
There's room for some totally non-destructive shortening of this article by rewriting the code. I haven't mastered all the necessary Wikimedia skills (such as coloring single rows), but someone who understands Wiki markup, or who could create new templates might be able to cut down on the number of kilobytes quite painlessly. [I did right-align almost all my own tables (e.g. 1897-1941) at the top in order to save right-aligning individual number cells, but found that it's actually better to leave the names and parties right-aligned, too, because it lines up all the last names and keeps them closer to the numbers while still leaving white space and variety.] Shakescene ( talk) 05:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree that the map (showing Bloomberg carrying Queens & Staten Island in 2001) had become redundant where it was, but it's useful for non-New Yorkers (and some New Yorkers) to have some map for reference (e.g. to see that Queens is is the furthest borough from Staten Island). Does someone have the technical skills to recolor Brooklyn and Manhattan in a second version of the map to show that they shifted to Bloomberg between 2001 and 2005, while he kept Queens & S.I.? That would be a useful reinforcement and show non-trivial information, as well as serving as a general reference of boroughs for all years and brightening up the long, grey tables of numbers. There is a non-election map in the Five Boroughs article, but unfortunately its color conventions (purple, orange, etc.) just don't match ours very well. Shakescene ( talk) 05:30, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

There are strong arguments both for and against breaking this article up into shorter articles (most likely between 1949 and 1950). If you have opinions or suggestions about the length, please visit the Discussion Page for this article (use the tab at the very top of this page), and after reading other readers' comments, click the "Edit" tab to offer your own.
This page should print out normally from Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox and other Internet browsers on ordinary (letter-sized) paper, if the pages are set to "Landscape", with the horizontal width greater than the vertical height (rather than "Portrait"). Use the "Page Setup" and "Print Preview" functions under "File" or "Print" to see what the pages will look like and to make adjustments.
What will be lost in moving from screen to paper are (1) color in the statistical tables (but not italics or emphasis), and (2) links to other parts of this article and to other articles in Wikipedia (but not links to sources outside Wikipedia).
As this is written in April 2008, separate articles of any length (which can be linked from this page) about any and all of the elections before 1997 are sorely needed, especially about such important and exciting ones as those of 1917, 1933 and 1965. Shorter narrative explanations on this page (about 3 to 15 lines) would also be helpful for most of the elections.
More details are also needed, in April 2008, for many of the statistical tables on this page, such as the total vote, minor parties, separate party lines for major candidates, the full names of some minor candidates, and the borough-by-borough returns for 1945, 1949, 1957, 1961, 1965, 1969, 1973 and 1997. [Those who would like to add to, correct or improve the reporting of a particular election can just click the "Edit" link closest to that election.]
I'm pretty sure that's the wrong form of the word, and it should be "New York City mayoral elections", while you could refer to Bloomberg's tenure as "Bloomberg's mayoralty". First I want to check with someone with more grammar knowledge than I have before moving the page.-- Muboshgu ( talk) 20:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
Why no information on the 1977 Republican primary between Goodman (who won the nomination) and Farber (who lost, but still had the Conservative line)? Dvd Avins ( talk) 20:20, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
I BOLDly moved the content from Characteristics of New York City mayoral elections into this article, but it was reverted. No other city has as two separate such articles; compare this to Mayoral elections in Chicago, which contains content similar to both current pages in a single article.
I also don't think the sheer amount of detail in the current article is necessary or helpful. To return to the Chicago page, it has simpler tables that only display candidates and their votes; more detail can be found in each individual mayoral election article. Granted, many NYC mayoral elections didn't have their own articles until the past couple of years, but I think SPINOFFs are needed in the current article to trim it down and make it more manageable. – John M Wolfson ( talk • contribs) 13:43, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
Is there a reason why DeBlasio is not italicized for the 2017 election (in the first big table)? Wasn't he the sitting mayor at the time? 2604:2000:EFC0:2:741E:AD4E:20E7:E5C ( talk) 03:55, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
