   The tallies are in from the nine-day early voting period that ended Sunday   
   afternoon: More than 732,000 New Yorkers have already turned out to cast   
   their ballots, accounting for nearly 14% of the more than 5.3 million   
   registered voters in the city, according to THE CITY’s analysis of the   
   latest city Board of Elections data.   
      
   Sixty-five percent as many people have already voted this year as the   
   1,125,258 who voted altogether in 2021’s uncompetitive general election,   
   where Democrat Eric Adams crushed Republican Curtis Sliwa, who is running   
   again this year as the party’s nominee.   
      
   The 2025 early voting numbers suggest overall turnout could approach 2   
   million people — a level the city hasn’t come close to since David Dinkins   
   and Rudy Giuliani faced off in 1989 and again in 1993.   
      
   Early voting peaked over the final weekend, with 103,597 New Yorkers   
   voting on Saturday, and another 150,053 on Sunday — the two highest   
   turnout days of the early voting period that had begun the previous   
   weekend. Brooklyn accounted for 33% of the city’s total early votes, with   
   Windsor Terrace and Park Slope leading the city with the largest share of   
   registered voters who turned out early.   
      
   Overall, however, a greater share of registered voters turned out to vote   
   early in Manhattan than in any other borough, with the Upper East Side   
   leading the way.   
      
   A number of multi-generational households also voted early, including in   
   Jackson Heights, a pan-South Asian enclave and stronghold for the   
   Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani where at least 56 of such families cast   
   their ballots, trailing only the Upper West and East Sides. Washington   
   Heights, a predominantly Dominican neighborhood in northern Manhattan, and   
   Parkchester, the Bronx neighborhood nicknamed “Little Bangladesh,” came in   
   fourth and fifth. (THE CITY tallied those numbers by counting voters who   
   are registered to the same apartment unit. A multi-generational household   
   is defined here as households with voters from three or more generations.)   
      
   Here are four more takeaways from the early voting data:   
      
   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.   
      
   But Thursday’s heavy downpours, which greatly suppressed early voting   
   turnout for the day, appeared to be an inflection point. Millennials, born   
   between 1981 and 1996, cast the most votes of any generation this last   
   Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Overall, Millennials ended up casting 28% of   
   the early votes — just 1 percentage point shy of Baby Boomers, who   
   accounted for 29% of those votes.   
      
   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.   
      
   People who registered to vote this year accounted for a greater share of   
   voters — about 8% —  than those who registered in any other year. Overall,   
   nearly one in five of the 134,066 New Yorkers who put their name on the   
   voter roll after the June primary cast their ballot 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.   
      
   Votes in these working-class neighborhoods were slightly more likely than   
   those in higher-income neighborhoods to have favored former Gov. Andrew   
   Cuomo during the Democratic primary.   
      
   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.   
      
   These unaffiliated voters, who can’t vote in the city’s primary elections   
   where only party members can vote on their nominees, make up 21% of all   
   voters. They are most concentrated in the southeast parts of Brooklyn,   
   where Cuomo prevailed in the primary, and in northeast Queens, where   
   Mamdani and Cuomo were neck-and-neck.
