2020
The nonpartisan special general election for New York City Council District 37 was originally scheduled on April 28, 2020. The filing deadline for this election was February 10, 2020. On March 15, Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) announced the postponement of the race due to concerns about the coronavirus pandemic.[1] The race was rescheduled to be held on June 23, 2020, coinciding with the statewide partisan primary.
Prior to Gov. Andrew Cuomo issuing a proclamation on April 24, 2020, two races for New York City Council District 37 were scheduled to be held on June 23, 2020: a nonpartisan general election and a partisan primary.[2][3] The nonpartisan special general election was canceled to avoid voter confusion. The winner would have served through the end of 2020. Because June 23 was the statewide primary election date, the special partisan primary was not canceled. The primary winners advanced to the general election on November 3, 2020.[2]
Candidates Misba Abdin, Darma Diaz, and Sandra Nurse were on the ballot in this race before it was canceled.
