Nearly 3 Million New Yorkers Voted Early For President

Voting season in the Empire State is just about wrapped up, and based on the turnout during New York State's nine-day early voting period, people in this great state are excited about voting for a new President.

Based on unofficial data from the New York State Board of Elections, nearly 3 million people voted early throughout New York's 62 counties. Early voting, which ran from 9 a.m. on Saturday, October 26, 2024, through 5 p.m. on Sunday, November 3, 2024, saw long lines throughout the State every day that voting was available.

Like other states, New York allows citizens to cast their vote early. A few years ago, the state's election law was changed to make it easier for people to do their civic duty in the Empire State.

Now, New Yorkers and the nation look forward to election day on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, to have the final vote for President. However, the President isn't the only thing we're voting for this year. You can find a complete list of offices that are set to be elected here.
