Early voting in the 2024 presidential election began in New York this weekend, and the city saw record numbers of voters eager to make their voices heard fill polling sites across town.
The city’s Board of Elections reported a record first-day turnout for early voting on Oct. 26, with more than 140,000 voter check-ins reported across the five boroughs. That’s more than 50,000 check-ins higher than the 2020 presidential election four years earlier, held amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
