Early voting is done. Here’s how it went. (Don’t forget: Election Day is tomorrow.)
Now that New York finished its first early voting election process — which consisted of nine days and 248 polling sites across the state — how did it go?
According to the preliminary numbers from New York City’s Board of Elections, which operated 61 early voting sites, more than 60,000 people voted across the five boroughs — about the same amount of Brooklyn votes that went to Jumaane Williams in the special election for public advocate back in February. Approximately 6,700 votes were cast a day.
Early voting began on Saturday, Oct. 26, and ran until Nov. 3. Manhattan had the most voters participate with more than 19,800 votes cast. Brooklyn came in second with nearly 18,000 votes being cast across 18 polling sites, according to the preliminary count.
