New York City's 26th City Council district is one of 51 districts in the New York City Council. It has been represented by Democrat Julie Won since 2022. She replaced former councilman Jimmy Van Bramer who was term-limited and ran unsuccessfully for Queens Borough President.[3]
Geography
District 26 covers the westernmost neighborhoods of Queens along the East River, including Long Island City, Sunnyside, southern Astoria, and northern Woodside.[4]
The district overlaps with Queens Community Boards 1 and 2, and with New York's 6th, 12th, and 14th congressional districts. It also overlaps with the 12th, 13th, and 16th districts of the New York State Senate, and with the 30th, 34th, 36th, 37th, and 39th districts of the New York State Assembly.[5]
Recent election results
2021
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]
