Geography

District 16 covers a series of neighborhoods in the South Bronx, including parts of Concourse, Morrisania, Highbridge, Morris Heights, and Tremont.[4] Yankee Stadium is located within the district.

The district overlaps with Bronx Community Boards 3, 4, and 5, and is contained almost entirely within New York's 15th congressional district, with a small extension into the 13th district. It also overlaps with the 29th, 32nd, and 33rd districts of the New York State Senate, and with the 77th, 79th, 84th, and 86th districts of the New York State Assembly.[5]

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.[8] Results below are unofficial, and absentee ballots currently remain uncounted.
