Nearly 1.2 million New Yorkers took part in early voting in 2025 elections

New York's Early Voting Numbers Soar: A Record-Breaking Turnout for the 2025 Off-Year ElectionsOn November 3rd, New York state saw a massive surge in early voting for the 2025 off-year elections, with nearly 1.2 million people casting their ballots during the early voting period. The last day, November 2nd, saw the highest number of votes, with over 222,000 votes tallied in just 24 hours. Upstate's largest counties, such as Erie, Monroe, Albany, and Onondaga, saw significant increases in early voting compared to previous off-year elections. Community organizers and election workers attribute this growth to increased enthusiasm and trust in the early voting process, as well as its convenience for busy voters. This year's early voting numbers have surpassed the 2023 off-year election totals by several times, reflecting a more engaged and involved population. As Election Day approaches, New Yorkers are preparing to make their voices heard, building on the momentum of this record-breaking early turnout.
