WNYC sent two reporters out to different neighborhoods in New York City to talk to voters about the upcoming Nov. 6 midterm elections.

Yasmeen Khan went to areas with high rates of voter registration but relatively low voter turnout, using data from John Mollenkopf, a political science and sociology professor at the CUNY Graduate Center. Mollenkopf compiled voter registration and turnout numbers going back eight years, and from his maps she landed in Jamaica, Queens and East Harlem.  

Shumita Basu focused on areas with high voter turnout as portrayed in Gothamist's "Does Your Block Vote?" interactive map. She used it to identify places where close to 40 percent of registered voters actually cast a ballot in the last midterm elections in 2014, compared to the citywide average of 23 percent. She landed in Borough Park and Windsor Terrace in Brooklyn, and Ridgewood, Queens.

Typically, New York has consistently low voter turnout — among the lowest in the country. But if the September primary is any indication, then New York should expect much larger turnout numbers on Tuesday. The New York City Board of Elections has said they are planning for the same level of turnout as in a presidential election year.
