Early voting in New York

The last date for early voting in the New York City mayoral election in the United States was 02/11/2025. And the number of early votes cast on that day was about 151,000. The election authorities said that this is the second record, except for the government election, and this is the highest turnout since the early voting began. These voters were mostly young, especially voters under the age of 35, the election authorities said. The election authorities also said that the average age of voters who voted early has decreased. If you calculate the total, it will be seen that those under the age of 50 are participating in early voting. They noticed that although the turnout of young voters was low at the beginning of last week, at least 35 to 80 thousand New Yorkers voted in a total of 5 days from Sunday to Thursday of that week. However, this number increased significantly from last Friday to Sunday. More than 100,000 voters under the age of 35 voted, of which more than 45,000 were on Sunday alone.

However, the mayoral election in New York City will begin on November 4, 2025. Three popular candidates are running for mayor in the first election 1. Zahran Mamdani, 2. Andrew Cuomo, 3. Curtis Silver. Some sources say that Zahran Mamdani is ahead of these three candidates in early voting. However, there is also uncertainty about who is actually ahead. The first opportunity to vote early in the mayoral election in New York was created in 2021. 

About 170,000 people voted early in that election. However, there was no close fight between the rivals in that election. In that election, Eric Adams defeated his closest rival, Silver, by more than twice the number of votes. However, the number of people who voted early in the New York mayoral election this year could not surpass the number of people who voted early in the presidential election last year. 

One million people voted early in the presidential election. However, the age of people who voted early in the mayoral election is relatively younger than in the presidential election. This is surprising. Because the average age of those who vote early is usually older than the average age of those registered. 

The number of early voters in this year's mayoral election is even higher than in the 2022 midterm elections, when about 433,000 people voted early in New York. The majority of early voters were over 55 years old.
