Here’s What NYC Early Voting Numbers Show
New York City's June primary election saw low early voting turnout, with 172,684 ballots cast over nine days, including only 11,573 from newly registered voters (6.7% of total). Turnout dropped 76.5% compared to 2025's mayoral primary, though it remained double 2022's mid-term primary numbers. Manhattan and Brooklyn accounted for 69% of early voters, while low youth participation concerned the Democratic Socialists of America.
