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. 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.
Last year’s BOE tallies over the show period tracked just over 17,000 ballots cast over the same time period, when city voters went to the polls for a much wider slate of races including statewide gubernatorial, lieutenant governor, attorney general and comptroller primaries as well as congressional, state senate, assembly and state supreme court judgeship races.
This year’s contests are anticipated to attract even lower turnout, experts say, as most incumbent councilmembers are running for their seats a second time in two years thanks to redistricting. “It tells you that New York City is not the voting capital of the world. Why would they turn out for an election in June when it’s not a high interest election,” said longtime Democratic political consultant Hank Sheinkopf.
