New York City voters will have a chance to make their picks in the special election for public advocate next week, filling a post left vacant when Letitia James became the state attorney general.

With a crowded 17-candidate field competing in an unprecedented off-cycle election for the citywide post, and without any public polling on the race, it’s unclear who will ultimately emerge as the victor on Tuesday, Feb. 26. So we’re asking you, our readers, to weigh in on who’s likely to win.
