On Tuesday, Onondaga County Democrats are choosing who will advance to the November election in NY-22 and in senate district 50; Republicans are deciding on their favorite in senate district 48.

There are about 5,500 more non-enrolled voters in the county than enrolled Republicans. Enrolled Democrats outnumber Republicans by nearly 33,700.

Less than 1,000 of nearly 198,000 enrolled Democrat and Republican voters have cast ballots during early voting for the presidential primaries.

Democratic challenger Emily Essi expanded her lead to more than 300 votes after all absentees were counted, but it still falls within range for a hand recount.

The number of voters who have turned out at ten locations across Onondaga County has roughly doubled over 2019 and 2021.

The lack of contested seats could be among the lowest in the legislature's 61-year history.

Elections can be hard to predict, but Democratic Elections Commissioner Dustin Czarny says they're likely to blow past their budget allocation next year.
