Rye residents are on pace this election cycle to eclipse the total number of early votes logged ahead of the 2020 election by Wednesday, based on preliminary polling data.

After just two days, voters across the city have already cast more than half the number of ballots they did during the entire early voting period four years ago.

Early voting began in New York state on Saturday and is taking place at 25 select locations in Westchester County, including the Resurrection-Early Childhood Education Center on Milton Road in Rye.

The buzz around early voting for November is highlighted by the too close to call race for the White House between Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris and former Republican President Donald Trump.

Other races on the local ballot include Congressional District 16 where Democrat George Latimer is facing Republican Dr. Miriam Flisser, the state’s 37th Senate District has incumbent Democrat Shelley Mayer squaring off against Republican Tricia Lindsay, and New York’s 91st Assembly District pits Assemblyman Steve Otis, a Democrat, against Republican Katie Manger.

Also on the ballot is an uncontested election for an expiring one-year term on the Rye City Council. Democrat James Ward is running unopposed after Republican candidate Rick McCabe dropped out of the race in September due to illness.

Westchester election officials scanned 1,290 Rye early voting ballots, as of Monday morning, according to county Board of Elections Commissioner Frank Corvino. That turnout equates to 54% of the total number of early votes (2,378) cast ahead of the 2020 general election.

The 2020 election, which pitted Trump against Democrat Joe Biden, took place while in the throes of a pandemic.

Westchester County has a smaller ratio of early voters so far compared to 2020 totals. As of Monday at noon, 53,064 early ballots had been scanned countywide — about 39% of the 134,866 early votes in 2020.

New York City, however, also reported record-high first day early voting turnout, with more than 140,000 ballots scanned on Oct. 26. Gothamist reported the turnout marked the highest number of first-day early ballots cast in the Big Apple since the state instituted early voting five years ago. Kings County (Brooklyn), with a population of nearly 2.8 million, boasted the highest countywide turnout in New York City on the first day, with 40,289 voters.

Voter registration data indicates that Harris and vice presidential running mate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who are running on the Democratic and Working Families lines, are expected to win Westchester by a wide margin thanks to a near 3 to 1 voter registration margin favoring Democrats.

Westchester’s early voting period ends at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 3, and Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 5.
