Brooklyn leads early voting turnout in record-setting year

A historic number of voters cast their ballots during nine days of early voting in New York City, and Brooklyn once again led the charge.

Across the five boroughs, a total of 732,866 people voted, according to the Board of Elections — the highest number of early votes cast in a non-presidential election year since the start of early voting in New York City in 2019.

Brooklyn recorded the most voters of any borough, with a total of 243,737 votes cast in the borough between Oct. 25-Nov. 3. Nearly 100,000 more Brooklynites voted early in this election than in the June primary, per BOE data, though totals fell short of the 345,840 who cast their ballots ahead of the general election last November.

Manhattan came in second, with a total of 212,679 votes; Queens third with 166,519; the Bronx fourth with 58,661; and Staten Island fifth with 53,721.
