Nearly 70,000 voters statewide cast their ballots on Saturday and Sunday, compared to about 27,000 voters at this point during the 2014 midterm election. “Overall it seems like voter turnout is going to be higher than usual,” said Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato’s Crystal Ball at UVA’s Center for Politics. “It’s not surprising to me that the turnout is high because I think the interest is high as well.”
