Jumaane Williams takes over as acting mayor if Eric Adams resigns.
Eric Adams , a former police officer, has been indicted on federal charges including wire fraud and conspiracy, becoming the first sitting New York City mayor to face criminal prosecution.Within three days of Adams' exodus, the acting mayor would need to set a date for a special mayoral election. That election will be held on the first Tuesday that comes when Adams is at least 80 days out of office.
There wouldn't be any primaries, so no one would run with a party affiliation. That makes the special election nonpartisan. It also means voters of any party affiliation can participate in the election as well.Should Adams resign within 90 days of the June primaries, no special election would be held. In that case, the acting mayor would stay the mayor until a new mayor is elected in November. That person would immediately take office.
