NYC Mayoral Election Sees Record Voter Turnout

New York City is witnessing a record-breaking surge in voter turnout for its mayoral election, with nearly 1.75 million votes cast and an additional 124,000 absentee ballots submitted. This unprecedented enthusiasm is driven by the three-way race between candidates Zohran Mamdani, Andrew Cuomo, and Curtis Sliwa, with Mamdani's potential historic candidacy and extensive volunteer outreach energizing voters. Despite the high number of votes, the percentage of registered voters participating may still be lower than historical highs, with the current turnout unlikely to exceed fifty percent.
