NYC Mayoral Race Sees Historic Early Voting Turnout

Early voting in the New York City mayoral race saw an impressive turnout, with over 735,000 ballots cast in the nine days leading up to Election Day. This high level of participation puts the election on track to potentially have one of the highest turnouts in recent city history, possibly exceeding 2 million votes. The 2025 mayoral race is attracting enthusiasm due to the diverse range of candidates and their contrasting policy platforms. This includes Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, ex-governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa, who all represent differing views on the city’s future.

Early Turnout Fuels Concerns for Cuomo’s NYC Mayoral Bid

Early voting in the New York City mayoral race saw a significantly higher turnout than in the 2021 election, with initial numbers heavily favoring Democrat candidate Zohran Mamdani. The boroughs where Mamdani won the primary election experienced the highest early voting numbers, potentially signaling a challenge for independent candidate Andrew Cuomo. Polls currently show Mamdani with a substantial lead, supported by high-profile endorsements and a platform focused on key policy areas. With the election still ahead, the high early turnout could be indicative of the election results, especially with the high turnout in Mamdani’s winning boroughs.
