Daily News | Philly’s mayoral primary was ‘high stakes’ and perhaps historic, but turnout looks so-so
— the state’s third-largest and likely to play a major role in the 2024 presidential campaign — drew a crowded field of five candidates.
However, the Philadelphia mayoralty race dominated the marquee, and a big topic of discussion among election workers was the turnout. Conventional wisdom held that low turnout would benefit Gym and potentially Parker, who both have high-performing wards in their corners. “We did have a handful of last-minute polling place moves,” said Nick Custodio, a spokesperson for the city commissioners.
The impasse resulted in an unspecified number of voters either being forced to vote provisionally or being turned away from the polls between 7 a.m. and roughly 12:30 p.m., poll workers and voters said. If the total number of votes the nominee gets falls below 100,000 — a real possibility — that would be the lowest winning raw vote total since at least the 1970s and would represent less than 10% of all registered voters.
