what percentage of registered voters in Nyc voted in 2026 primaries

In NYC’s 2026 primaries, roughly 17% of Democratic voters citywide turned out, according to recent reporting. That is the clearest percentage I found for the citywide primary turnout figure tied to the 2026 races.

What that means

• The figure is described as turnout among Democratic voters citywide , not all registered voters in New York City.
• So if you want the share of all registered NYC voters , the exact percentage is not stated in the source I found.
• Early-voting check-ins from the NYC Board of Elections show 172,743 cumulative early votes as of close of polls, but that is only early voting, not the full election total.

Closest citywide context

• NYC’s 2025 primary turnout reached 29.9% of all registered voters.

• A later analysis said almost 42% of registered voters turned out in the 2025 general election.

• For 2026, the strongest available figure here is the ~17% of Democratic voters estimate, which reflects the low-turnout nature of the primary.

If you want the exact all-registered-voters percentage for the 2026 NYC primaries, I’d need a citywide election-data source that reports total ballots cast divided by total registered voters for that election.
