The turnout is projected to exceed four years ago, when 2.4 million New Yorkers cast their ballots.

Board of Elections officials say they received a higher-than-normal amount of new voter registrations right before the October 15th deadline, leaving them with a lot of work to do before next Tuesday.

"This year, from October 1st until October 15th, the last two weeks of registration, this agency received over 204,000 registration forms that had to be processed," said BOE Commissioner Frederic Umane. "This is unprecedented."

Umane says workers have been at it around the clock to make sure all of those newly registered are in the system. He added that workers are ready to handle the crowds on Election Day.

"We've had excellent training and revised training for poll workers," he said. "We've tried to retain a sufficient number of poll workers to be able to handle even record turnout."

"Be patient, wait on line, don't be turned away by yourself," said Nero Graham, a BOE commissioner. "Because what we need to do is to make sure every vote counts."

If voters are not in the system by Election Day they can still vote and then sign a simple affidavit.
