John Gramlich, of the Pew Research Center, today tweeted, “Slightly over a third of eligible voters (37%) cast ballots in the 2014 midterms, but @ElectProject estimates that turnout in this year's midterms could reach a level (45%-50%) not seen since 1970.”
"It's probably going to be a turnout rate that most people have never experienced in their lives for a midterm election," Michael McDonald, a professor at the University of Florida who studies turnout and maintains a turnout database, told NPR.
McDonald is predicting that 45 to 50 percent of eligible voters will cast a ballot. That would be a level not seen since 1970 when 47 percent of voters turned out or 1966 when a record 49 percent turned out in a midterm.”
