The two major parties have their candidates for New York’s next mayor. But Democrat Eric Adams and Republican Curtis Sliwa aren’t the only mayoral hopefuls on the Nov. 2 general election ballot.

Seven other candidates notched ballot spots through other parties, according to city Board of Elections records. Here’s your guide to the full lineup, in alphabetical order:

In years past, the Working Families Party has run a candidate on its third-party line, but will not participate in the mayoral race in November, spokesperson Ravi Mangla said. The WFP’s placeholder candidate Deborah Axt — who appeared on the WFP line in June’s primary — declined the spot on the mayoral ballot for Nov. 2 and the party’s New York officers chose not to endorse any candidate in the general election.
