NEW YORK (AP) Candidates in New York City s heavily contested Democratic mayoral primary on Saturday urged people to go to the polls in the coming days as early voting kicked off.
The start of early voting in the state marks the homestretch to primary election day on June 22. As some candidates voted, others spoke at a get-out-the-vote rally hosted by the Rev. Al Sharpton, who is remaining neutral in the race.
“Why on earth would you wait until the last day?” candidate Andrew Yang asked at the event. “You can vote right now. You can vote tomorrow. You can vote Monday. You can vote Tuesday. I don’t know about you all, but I would feel great having gotten it out of the way.”
Caroline Jackson gave a thumbs up to the early voting at Intermediate School 68 in Canarsie, Brooklyn, where there were no lines and voters were in and out in five minutes.
