Halfway through early voting, older New Yorkers continue to make up a slim majority of those who have cast ballots in the city’s mayoral race so far , according to a data analysis by the Daily News.

Wednesday marked the fifth day of polls being open and the halfway mark of early voting in the pivotal Nov. 4 election , in which Democratic front-runner Zohran Mamdani is facing off against independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

As of the 8 p.m. poll closures Wednesday, 372,111 New Yorkers had voted, Board of Elections tabulations say. In the 2021 mayoral election, the first citywide contest to offer early voting, a total of 169,879 people cast ballots early over the entire nine-day span it was available, meaning the 2025 turnout has already shattered the previous record.
