===2021===
In 2019, voters in New York City approved Ballot Question 1, which implemented [[Instant-runoff voting|ranked-choice voting]] in all local primary and special 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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thecity.nyc/22233558/how-does-ranked-choice-voting-work-in-new-york-city|title= How Does Ranked Choice Voting Work in New York City?|publisher=The City|author=Rachel Holliday Smith|date=January 18, 2021|access-date=July 7, 2021}}</ref>

The 50th district was one of three districts in the city in which the eventual winner did not receive the highest number of first-choice votes (the other two being the [[New York City's 9th City Council district|9th]] and [[New York City's 25th City Council district|25th districts]]).
