A record number of New Yorkers headed to the polls during the nine days of early voting that concluded Sunday — including a significant number of younger voters who polls show are likely to support Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani.

The city Board of Elections said 735,317 voters cast ballots during early voting, more than five times the number of early voters in 2021. Voters 55 and under made up 56% of the early vote, reversing a trend during the first days of early voting, which were dominated by Gen X and Boomers .

“The question of whether the people under the age of 35 were going to show up to vote has been answered,” Laura Tamman, a political scientist at Pace University, said. She called the turnout a “meaningful shift” that was likely good news for Mamdani.
