"More than 735,000 New Yorkers cast early ballots ahead of Tuesday's mayoral election, marking the highest early in-person turnout ever for a non-presidential election in New York. Sunday, the final day of early voting, saw about 151,000 early voters, the most of any day since the polls opened, and more voters under 35 than in the first weekend combined, according to data from the city's Board of Elections. That brought the median age of early in-person voters down to 50."
"Turnout among younger age groups lagged early in the week, with about 80,000 people under 35 voting from Sunday to Thursday. That number jumped from Friday to Sunday, with over 100,000 voters under the age of 35 casting ballots, including more than 45,000 on Sunday. Call me crazy, but I don't think all those voters, especially the young ones, are turning out because of Andrew Cuomo's flailing turn to pure nativism or because of the natural charisma of Curtis Sliwa."
Zohran Mamdani appears poised to win the New York City mayoralty amid historically high early turnout. More than 735,000 New Yorkers cast early ballots, the highest early in-person turnout for a non-presidential election in the city, with about 151,000 voting on the final day. Increased participation among voters under 35 lowered the median age of early in-person voters to 50, with over 100,000 under-35 ballots cast from Friday to Sunday. Republican opposition is weak, and post-election efforts are being pursued to challenge Mamdani's eligibility based on the 14th Amendment.
