Election Day is finally here in New York City.<\/p>\n
New Yorkers across the state are making their picks for governor, attorney general and state comptroller. U.S. House, state Assembly and state Senate seats are also on the ballot.<\/p>\n
In the five boroughs, there are also five ballot questions, which were crafted by Mayor Zohran Mamdani\u2019s Charter Commission on Government Efficiency, also known as COGE.<\/p>\n
Over the course of the nine-day early voting period, 690,526 of city voters cast their ballots. This marks a nearly 60% increase in early voting turnout compared to the last governor\u2019s race in 2022, according to the city\u2019s Board of Elections.<\/p>\n
Voters have until 9 p.m. to cast their ballot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Election Day is finally here in New York City.
