Early voting in New York City’s June primary ended well below last year’s mayoral-primary surge, setting up a test Tuesday of whether Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s young progressive coalition can help carry the candidates he has endorsed without him at the top of the ballot.
Unofficial Board of Elections figures show 172,743 voters checked in during the nine-day early voting period, down about 55% from the 384,338 early-voting check-ins recorded in the 2025 primary, when Mamdani won the Democratic nomination for mayor.
