Of the 3.8 million active New York City Democrats and Republicans who could have taken part in early voting ahead of Tuesday’s gubernatorial and Assembly primaries, just over 2% of them bothered to do so, according to figures from the city’s Board of Elections.

Through the nine-day voting period that concluded on Sunday, June 26, the Board of Elections reported a total of 86,890 voter check-ins at its 140 early voting sites — or roughly 2.2% of the 3,878,189 active New York City voters who could participate in the primary.
