NYC Primary turnout ‘steady trickle’ in Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn
Beautiful, sunny weather may have encouraged voter turnout in the New York City primary election on Tuesday, where poll workers in Downtown Brooklyn and Brooklyn Heights said they were seeing a “steady trickle” before noon.
– At 101 Clark St. in Brooklyn Heights, which serves four election districts, numbers were “just starting to pick up” by 10 a.m. By that point, 188 votes had been cast.
– At P.S. 8 in the north Heights, voters started coming in at 6 a.m., poll workers said, though business did slow down after 9 a.m. The site serves five election districts, and 167 votes were cast by roughly 10:15 a.m. Poll workers said they expected the numbers to pick up after 5 p.m.
