Queens saw the highest voter turnout in the first two days of early voting for the June 27 primary election, which kicked off June 17.

New York City’s turnout thus far has been low with just over 15,000 voters heading to the polls this past weekend, excluding Staten Island, which does not have a primary election this cycle.

Though turnout throughout the city has been abysmal, Queens had the highest two-day turnout with 4,694 voters, according to early voting check-in data from the city’s Board of Elections. Brooklyn was not far behind, with 4,080 voters turning out. Manhattan saw 3,900 voters over the first two days of early voting, while the Bronx had only 3,075 voters tallied.
