According to the Board of Elections, 732,866 people voted early across the five boroughs - the highest total in a non-presidential election year since early voting began in 2019. Brooklyn topped the list with 243,737 early votes cast between Oct. 25 and Nov. 3 - nearly 100,000 more than during June's primary - followed by Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island."
"Alongside the mayoral contest, the borough is hosting several closely watched local races - including the Brooklyn Borough President race, where incumbent Antonio Reynoso faces a Republican challenger, and a slate of competitive City Council matchups, such as the fierce District 47 battle between Republican George Sarantopoulos and Democrat Kayla Santosuosso for the seat soon to be vacated by Council Member Justin Brannan."
