NYC June Primary: Early Voting Hits 4% Turnout, Youth Participation Low

NYC’s nine‑day early voting for the June primary drew 172,684 ballots, including 11,573 from newly registered voters (about 6.7% of total). Turnout peaked on Sunday (35,843) and dipped to 12,655 on June 15; overall, early voting fell 76.5% from the 2025 mayoral primary, though it was roughly double the 2022 midterm total. Manhattan and Brooklyn led participation (e.g., 12th District 38,340; 10th 27,466; 13th 21,216; 7th 19,582), with the 25–34 age group being the largest among new voters. Election Day is Tuesday, and organizers note continued low youth turnout and efforts to engage new voters.
