In a notable shift, New York City has recorded an impressive increase in early voter turnout for the 2025 Democratic mayoral primary, particularly in boroughs like Brooklyn, Queens, and Manhattan, with early check-ins rising by over 100% since 2021. The total of 384,338 check-ins over nine days highlights a growing engagement among voters, especially within the 25-34 age demographic. However, the upcoming primary election faces potential turnout challenges due to a heatwave that could deter voters on election day, emphasizing the importance of early voting this cycle.
The dramatically higher turnout signals an acute increase in early voter engagement in what has been a uniquely competitive primary race.
In total, the New York City Board of Elections counted 384,338 early voting check-ins across the city in nine days of early voting.
Despite early voting success, the upcoming primary may face challenges due to an expected brutal heatwave, potentially discouraging voters on the election day.
Early voting data reveals a notable trend of higher turnout among younger voters, particularly those aged 25-34.
