Summary
Early voting in New York City is plummeting this year, down over fifty percent from last year’s surge—with just sixty-two thousand ballots cast so far versus one hundred thirty-one thousand. The shift is stark: voters are older, Manhattan dominates over Brooklyn, and Mayor Mamdani’s personal appeal—which energized last year’s mayoral race—is missing from this year’s competitive primaries. Millennials and Gen Z turnout has crashed, especially in key districts like the seventh, where voters aged eighteen to twenty-four dropped sixty-five percent. Meanwhile, seniors remain engaged, and overall turnout is settling into typical midterm levels, despite still days left. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
