Twice the number of New Yorkers are turning out for early voting in the 2025 primary compared to four years ago, data from the city Board of Elections show. The dramatic 100% spike hints that the heated Democratic mayoral primary — which polls show is a tight two-way race between frontrunner Andrew Cuomo and runner-up Zohran Mamdani — has lit a fire under Big Apple voters. Nearly 94,000 New Yorkers cast ballots during the first three days of early voting — which began Saturday and lasts through June 22 — compared to 44,000 at the same point in 2021, BOE data show.
