4 Early Voting Takeaways in NYC, By The Numbers

1. Boomers led turnout in the early days, but Millennials closed out strong

Baby boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, maintained their status as the leader in early voting through the first six days of the nine-day period — casting doubt among some political scientists about whether Mamdani’s support with younger voters would carry him as far as it did in the Democratic primary.


2. Many early voters weren’t registered before this year

Mamdani focused on registering voters early on in his campaign and drew thousands who did not vote in previous primaries to the polls in June. Many of these new voters showed up again during the early voting period.


3. Many voters from working class neighborhoods have not yet turned out

Voters from wealthier neighborhoods were significantly more likely to have cast their ballots early. While 17% of registered voters had turned out early in areas where most households make more than the citywide median income of about $75,000, just 8% of registered voters did in neighborhoods where most households make less than that.


4. Voters who aren’t registered with a party were least likely to vote early

The share of registered Democrats and registered Republicans who cast their ballots early were roughly the same, at 15%. But just 8% — or 90,711 of more than 1.1 million — of voters who are not registered with a party turned out early.
