Democratic Elections Commissioner Dustin Czarny said this year has seen a better turnout then the past two primaries.
“For the first two days we had 384 people over the weekend. That’s actually pretty good for a primary,” he said. “If you compare it to the two other primaries that we’ve had early voting, 2021 we had 190 people 2023 we had 280 people over those first two days.”
One big reason why is the race for the Democratic Syracuse mayoral nominee. The race is between Common Counilors Pat Hogan and Chol Majok, and Deputy Mayor Sharon Owens.
Czarny said that race is fueling early voter turnout.
“Obviously the city of Syracuse mayoral race is the big one – 348 of those 384 were inside the city of Syracuse,” Czarny said.
