Brownstone Brooklyn voters ‘fired up’ for the primaries
Turnout in Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope Higher than Expected
More people than usual got to wear the “I Voted” sticker in Brownstone Brooklyn on Thursday.
Primary Day voters showed up in high numbers in Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope and Boerum Hill, a survey of precincts showed. Polls opened at 6 a.m. in New York City. Several hotly contested races were on the ballot.
Turnout was higher than expected at the Borough Hall voting site, which serves five districts, said coordinator Elizabeth Tretter. “This is one of the most heavily attended primaries I have ever worked — and I’ve been working these ten years,” she told the Brooklyn Eagle.
