More than 427,000 people took part in early voting for this year's primary elections in New York state, according to state Board of Elections numbers released Monday.

As of Monday, 427,440 state residents voted early between June 14 and June 22 when early voting was available, which is more than the 78,000 who voted early in 2023, the last year of off-year elections when turnout is usually lower.

The vast majority of those — more than 384,000 — came from New York City voters. The city features what may be the state's highest profile race: the Democratic primary for mayor. About 43,000 came from voters in the other parts of the state.

Statewide, the highest turnout day was June 22, the final day of early voting, with 84,994 early votes cast that day. The lowest turnout day was June 16 with 32,209 votes cast.

In upstate's more populous counties, 11,424 total early votes were cast in Erie County; 4,122 voted early in Monroe County; 3,230 voted early in Albany County; and 1,644 voted early in Onondaga County.

The closely watched races across upstate are the primary races for mayor in Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo and Rochester.

There was one county — Clinton County in the North Country — where zero early votes were cast during the eight-day period.

Early voting first came into practice in New York in 2019.

Tuesday is Primary Election Day. Polls will be open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. across the state.
