"The 2025 NYC Mayor's Race is destined for history, regardless of who wins the election. More than 1.7 million New Yorkers have already voted in the contest between Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa. The final vote total is expected to be the highest in more than 30 years and could wind up being a number not seen at the polls in a mayor's race in more than 50 years."
"The NYC Board of Elections reported as of 6 p.m. Tuesday that 1,748,698 people had cast ballots in the race a figure that included the more than 730,000 people who took part in early voting. Through 6 p.m. on Nov. 4, 1,015,832 voters had checked in to their polling sites citywide on Election Day a figure exceeding the early voting turnout of 732,866."
"Decades of voter apathy appear to have been shattered by the energy of the three-way campaign, largely defined by Mamdani's presence in the race, and his social media and voter engagement tactics. On its own, the 6 p.m. total would represent the most votes cast in a NYC mayoral election since the 1993 mayoral election between Rudy Giuliani and David Dinkins, which was also a highly contentious one."
