Poor NYC early voting turnout generates under 10K ballots ahead of June 27 primary electionBy Bernadette Hogan
June 19, 2023
The city’s Board of Elections tracked just under 10,000 ballots cast during the Big Apple’s first weekend of early voting, setting the stage for an anticipated low turnout election.
Data tracked between Saturday and Sunday show just 9,646 early votes were cast during the first two days of early voting across four boroughs excluding Staten Island – which has no primary races this cycle.
As of 5:30 PM Sunday, June 18, the city’s BOE tallied 3,005 early votes in Queens, 2,607 in Brooklyn, 2,432 in Manhattan and 1,602 in The Bronx.
The election is set to be held Tuesday, June 27.
All city races are subject to rank choice voting, except the two competitive primaries for district attorneys races in Queens and The Bronx, which are governed by state law.
