Who's been participating in the NYC Mayor's Race so far? Data shows some surprising trends
Of the roughly 223,268 New Yorkers who have voted early between Oct. 25-27, 74% were registered Democrats, according to preliminary data from the New York City Board of Elections (BOE). Nearly 13% are registered Republicans, and 11% did not list a party affiliation......
Voters over 61 made up the plurality of those who have voted early so far, with a combined 41% of those who cast ballots either qualifying as a Baby Boomer or a member of the “Greatest Generation” and “Silent Generation” — as defined by the Pew Research Center. “Generation X” — those aged 45 to 60 — made up 24% of early voters.
Younger voters, including “Millennials” and “Generation Z” — those aged 18-44, accounted for the remaining 34% of voters.
amNewYork’s findings would seem to confirm data analysis in a Gothamist report on Monday, which found that most of the early voters during the weekend were skewing older.
