2017 New York City Comptroller election
The 2017 New York City Comptroller election was held on November 7, 2017, alongside concurrent elections for mayor, Public Advocate, Borough Presidents, and City Council. Neither major party held a primary as incumbent Democrat Scott Stringer and Republican Michel Faulkner were unopposed.
Both major party candidates ran under a number of ballot lines due to New York's fusion voting system that allows more than one political party to nominate the same candidate. Stringer won the general election by more than 50 points and was elected to a second term in office.
