Early Voting Continues in New York Through Nov. 3

The first day of early voting saw a record number of New Yorkers checking in on Saturday – an indication that voters in the city are fired up for the presidential election.
The New York City Board of Elections announced that 140,145 voters went to early voting sites in the five boroughs on the first day. Brooklyn led the way with 40,289 voters followed by 38,237 in Manhattan. There were 31,671 early check-ins in Queens, 16,462 in the Bronx, and 13,486 on Staten Island.

It was the highest overall tally on the first day of early voting in the city since New York State launched early voting five years ago. The number of check-ins topped the first-day total from the 2020 presidential election by more than 50,000, which came during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.
After the first four days of early voting, officials with the city Board of Elections say 495,478 cast their ballots for the upcoming election. Brooklyn tops the boroughs with 150,805 early votes through Tuesday followed by Manhattan with 136,206, Queens with 112,350, the Bronx with 50,830 and Staten Island with 45,287.

Early voting continues through Nov. 3. Early voting sites are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Friday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
On Election Day (Nov. 5) polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
