STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. \u2014 Staten Island\u2019s early voting turnout kept climbing Wednesday, with more than 29,000 borough residents casting ballots through the first five days.<\/p>\n

According to figures released by the New York City Board of Elections<\/a>, 29,183 Staten Islanders had voted as of the close of polls Wednesday, up from 24,363 through Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Citywide, 357,027 voters cast ballots during the first five days of early voting.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn continues to lead the five boroughs in raw turnout with 105,516 votes, followed by Manhattan with 99,121. Queens has recorded 85,995 early votes, while the Bronx stands at 37,212.<\/p>\n

Staten Island\u2019s overall total is still the smallest among the five boroughs, but borough voters have historically exceeded others when turnout is measured on a per-capita basis.<\/p>\n

How this year stacks up<\/p>\n

With four days of early voting left, Staten Island has already gone well past its entire early-voting total<\/a> from 2023, and it\u2019s more than halfway to last year\u2019s mark.<\/p>\n

Last year, 53,708 Staten Islanders voted early, according to the Board of Elections\u2019 final turnout summary. This year\u2019s 29,183 is about 54% of that total. To match it, the borough would need about 24,500 more early voters over the final four days, or roughly 6,100 a day.<\/p>\n

The 2024 presidential election remains the high-water mark of the past three years, with 91,858 Staten Islanders voting early.<\/p>\n

In 2023, only 5,132 borough residents voted early during that year\u2019s off-year election. Staten Island passed that number within the first days of this year\u2019s early voting.<\/p>\n

Early voting continues through Sunday, Nov. 1, ahead of Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 3.<\/p>\n

Polls are open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n

Voters must cast their ballot at their assigned early voting location, which may differ from their Election Day polling site.<\/p>\n
