Record-Breaking In-Person Voter Turn Out For NYC: Here's What This Means

NEW YORK CITY — More than 700,000 New Yorkers cast their vote during the early voting period — the highest turnout for early voting in a non-presidential election in the city.

In total, 735,317 New Yorkers voted during the nine-day period. More than 150,000 people voted on the last day of early voting across citywide.

Here's the breakdown of early voting figures by borough:

1. Brooklyn: 243,737

2. Manhattan: 212,679

3. Queens: 166,519

4. Bronx: 58,661

5. Staten Island: 53,721

The early voting turnout this year was more than four times the overall total from the 2021 general election, which saw only 169,879 early votes cast.

In the first four days, the turnout for the 2025 general election has already surpassed figures from 2021, with one voting demographic leading the way so far, Patch previously reported.

Voters between the ages of 55-82 appear to have turned out in higher numbers during early voting. It's something that could possibly benefit former Governor Andrew Cuomo as he tries to defeat Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani.

A recent Suffolk University poll found that Mamdani's lead was down just to ten points, with 44 percent to Cuomo’s 34 percent. Sliwa netted 11 percent.

Poll sites will reopen on Election Day, Tuesday Nov. 4 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
