It could be one for the ages. The turnout for the Big Apple mayoral race is hitting historic highs, with nearly 2 million voters expected to cast their ballots by the end of Election Day Tuesday, leading pollsters tell The Post.
These dizzying numbers are already the highest in the five boroughs in decades. This surge in voter participation could see more moderates heading to the polls — which might spell trouble for lefty Democrat Zohran Mamdani, the frontrunner.
Experts note that Mamdani will have to fend off a recent surge by former Governor Andrew Cuomo as the race intensifies. With stakes this high, the upcoming election promises to be one of the most closely watched in recent New York City history.
