"If Adams were to vacate office, Williams, a progressive Democrat who has been the public advocate since 2019, would take over as acting mayor and be in charge of setting the date for a special election."
"Williams would need to mark a date for a special election on the first Tuesday at least 80 days from when he assumed power, according to the city charter."
"A special election would be non-partisan, and there would be no primaries. Candidates would appear on the ballot without party affiliation."
"If Adams refuses to step down, Gov. Kathy Hochul could take the extraordinary action to remove him from office before his term is up. But a source told The Post there is no chance Hochul would make that move."
