Cuomo Supporters Urge Long Island East End Voters to Change Registration to NYC to Vote in Mayoral Election

Zohran Mamdani’s shocking victory in the New York City mayoral primary over former New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo has upended the local political landscape in Gotham.

Now supporters of Cuomo and incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, both of whom are remaining in the race as independents, are scrambling for every vote they can get. Case in point: Steven Cohen, a board member of Fix the City, a Political Action Committee supporting Cuomo, is trying to persuade East End voters who also own or rent residences in the city to switch their registrations in order to vote in this November’s mayoral election.

In a race that also includes Curtis Sliwa, the Republican nominee and a prohibitive longshot, Cohen believes that dual New York City/East End residents are a potentially game-changing voting bloc for Cuomo.

“They’re older, they’re familiar with Andrew Cuomo’s successes as governor and I think they are inclined to support him,” Cohen says of Hamptons and North Fork voters who maintain homes in New York City. “I also think they tend to be more moderate voters.”
