"Across the first six days of early voting, an amNewYork analysis of unofficial Board of Elections data found that voters over 60 have continued to make up a plurality of New Yorkers showing up to cast their ballots in the contest between Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent candidate Andrew Cuomo, and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa."
"The turnout in early voting is setting an all-time record, Cuomo told reporters during a Thursday Harlem campaign event. They have never seen this volume of turnout, which is greatand it's all across the city. And I think the polls have no idea what they're talking about, because they have never seen this kind of turnout before."
"Voters aged 60 years and older made up 40% of the 397,561 New Yorkers who cast ballots across the Big Apple since early voting kicked off last Saturday, according to the data analysis, while those aged 45-60 made up another 23%. Meanwhile, younger voters, those between the ages of 18 and 44, accounted for nearly 37% of turnout thus far."
Early voting in the 2025 New York City mayoral race shows voters aged 60 and older made up 40% of 397,561 ballots cast across the first six days, while voters aged 45–60 accounted for 23% and those 18–44 accounted for nearly 37% of turnout. Older voters showed the largest turnout in multiple Manhattan City Council districts. Candidates in the race include Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, independent Andrew Cuomo, and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Cuomo, 67, has received strong support from older voters and has typically led with voters over 50, while Mamdani, 34, has drawn Millennial and Generation Z voters. Cuomo described early voting turnout as an all-time record and said polls underestimate its impact; recent polls show him narrowing the gap with Mamdani. The data derive from an amNewYork analysis of unofficial Board of Elections results covering the first six days of early voting.
