Primary voting in New York City around 100 days away
Later this week, it will be 100 days until the start of early voting in the 2025 mayoral primary. For the next few weeks, NY1 will go topic-by-topic through the most important issues.
To kick that off this week, NY1 is taking a step back to look at the crowded Democratic primary. The early voting period will begin on June 14 ahead of primary election day itself on June 24.
Participation rates for primary voting have fluctuated over the years. In 2013, around 680,000 people voted in the primary for mayor. Four years later, it was down to less than 500,000.
In 2021, amid the pandemic, more than 1 million primary voters turned out. However, that was still only around 25% of eligible voters.
