The 2021 New York County District Attorney election was held on November 2, 2021, to elect the New York County District Attorney. The incumbent, Cyrus Vance Jr., had announced in March 2021 that he would not seek a fourth term.[1]
The Democratic primary election was held on June 22, 2021. Despite the introduction of ranked-choice voting for other elected positions in New York City, this race used plurality voting, as it is a state position, rather than a city position.[2]
A key issue in the election was which candidate would be best equipped to criminally prosecute or civilly sue former President Donald Trump. https://www.cityandstateny.com/politics/2021/02/manhattan-da-candidates-expect-to-inherit-vances-case-against-trump/175200/ https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/local-politics/2021/03/24/why-the-manhattan-da-candidates-say-they-re-ready-to-take-on-the-trump-investigation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQLflgGxUrU
