New Yorkers Flock to Polls on Last Day of Early Voting

Neither rain nor an extreme heat warning could keep New Yorkers in the five boroughs away from polling stations Sunday, the final day of early voting ahead of the city’s June 24 primary.

As of Saturday, the eighth day of early voting, 305,896 New Yorkers had cast their ballots, more than double the number of early voting check-ins during the same period in 2021, although turnout then was impacted by the COVID pandemic.

At the Rochdale Village Community Center in southeast Queens, voters came out for citywide races as well as a primary to replace their local City Council member, Speaker Adrienne Adams, who is running for mayor.

Lolette Williams, 72, a retired MTA bus driver who’s lived in the neighborhood since 1984, said she cast her ballot for former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, declining to rank any of the other candidates.
