Voters across the Bronx turned out in strong numbers Tuesday despite scorching triple-digit temperatures, as the city’s 2025 primary elections drew high interest in a particularly competitive political year.

With a historic heatwave gripping New York City—temperatures reached 100 degrees at John F. Kennedy International Airport and even higher across parts of the five boroughs—many polling sites still reported steady turnout. Voters were advised to head to the polls early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the worst of the midday sun.
