NYC Breaks Record, More than 1 Million Vote Early in 2024 Election

More than 1 million New York City residents voted early in this week’s high-stakes election — a new record, according to city officials.

According to tabulations from the city Board of Elections, just shy of 1.1 million residents cast early ballots in the nine days of early voting that started Oct. 26.

That’s the highest number of early voters the city has ever recorded, the board noted.

Nearly 150,000 voters cast their ballots on Sunday, setting a record for the single-highest day of early voting in New York City history, the Board of Elections announced.

A total of 1,089,328 residents voted early in the 2024 election, just below the 2020 numbers of 1,119,056.

Here is the 2024 breakdown:

Manhattan: 282,533
Bronx: 113,955
Brooklyn: 345,840
Queens: 255,102
Staten Island: 91,898

All in all, the number of people who voted represented about 20% of registered voters in the city.
