NYC City Council Primary Election In District 39 Results

PARK SLOPE, BROOKLYN —The polls have closed in New York City for Tuesday's primary elections, when voters from each party chose who they'll put up for office in November's general election.

This being the liberal enclave of New York City and Brooklyn, the Democratic primary will generally decide who holds the seat come November in most places. So Tuesday is an important day in the city.

In Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Gowanus, Park Slope, Windsor Terrace and Kensington, voters cast ballots for city- and borough-wide positions such as mayor, public advocate and Brooklyn District Attorney. But their city councilman, Brad Lander, wasn't facing a primary challenger for his seat, so there wasn't any drama in his race.

Bill de Blasio easily won the Democratic nomination for mayor, while Eric Gonzalez was nominated for Brooklyn District Attorney.

Experienced voters are sure to notice that the "I Voted" stickers handed out at each polling place feature new designs. More than 10,000 people voted in a campaign organized by the New York City Campaign Finance Board to select a new sticker. More than 700 designs were submitted to the board, which narrowed the vote down to 10 finalists.
