More than 700,000 cast ballots in early voting as NYC mayoral race on track for historic turnout

Early voting in New York City saw 56% of ballots cast by voters 55 and under, signaling strong youth engagement ahead of the mayoral election.

  • As the race nears its finale, campaign stops intensified across New York City with Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo and Curtis Sliwa staging a last-ditch effort across all five boroughs ahead of Nov. 4.
  • Zohran Mamdani has run an activist-driven campaign that energized young volunteers; the 34-year-old democratic socialist built a strong ground operation with Democratic Socialists of America support.
  • BOE data show unprecedented early turnout across the city with 735,317 check-ins; Brooklyn led with 243,737, Manhattan had 212,679, Queens 166,519, Bronx 58,661, Staten Island 53,721.
  • A disciplined volunteer operation and a high-profile endorsement translated into tangible field activity for Mamdani, who reported 103,000 doors knocked and at least 5,500 volunteers while promoting a rent-freeze pledge.
  • Voters will also cast ballots for multiple city offices and six ballot questions on Election Day, including three on affordable housing, with polls open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday.
