Voters across New York City’s five boroughs turned out in force Tuesday morning to cast their ballots in the city’s 2025 primary elections, facing record-breaking temperatures to participate in what has become a uniquely competitive election cycle.
Despite projected temperatures over 100 degrees Fahrenheit and an even higher heat index, several polling sites still saw high turnout in the morning. Mayoral hopeful and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is relying on older voters who are more vulnerable to extreme heat to turn out on Primary Day, encouraged voters to cast their ballot early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the worst of the heat.
