As New York City’s mayoral race enters its final stretch, tens of thousands of voters turned out across the five boroughs over the first two days of early voting — a sharp uptick from the last mayoral election.

According to preliminary figures from the city’s Board of Elections , 164,190 voters cast ballots by the close of polls on Sunday. Brooklyn and Manhattan led the turnout, with roughly 49,000 early check-ins each, followed by Queens with nearly 39,000, the Bronx with about 14,000 and Staten Island with 12,500.
