It will have once polls open, because there's no more debating to be had. I think a new one is warranted to discuss the the result's TV coverage. Even the elections last month got its own thread for the results coverage and that was only local council and police commissioner elections - this is a much bigger vote.

Thanks

True - they're saying 7:00am is when we should know for sure - but there'll be enough to talk about with all the results that come in through the night.

I'll be doing an all-nighter watching it all unfold

I'll be interested to hear voter turnout figures. Our polling station is directly next to the primary school, went straight after the school run... there was no one else there. Literally no one. I mean, yes, it's a small village but I went at exactly the same time for the Scottish indy referrendum and the queue was out the door, and for the GE there were quite a few people there. But NO ONE today? Very strange.

Not least because with this being a slightly "wealthier" / more politically engaged village, our polling station usually has the highest voter turnout percetage in the county.

Genuinely get the feeling that people don't really understand what they're being asked to vote on here. A couple of my wife's friends were messaging her this morning, saying they were heading in to vote and asking for advice .

[Livia]

Polling station attendance here is very brisk. The people in my local one when I voted this morning said it's busier than they've known it for years.

[Niamh.]

Probably is a quiet time for voting anyway, this time of the day, alot of people will be at work. You'd hope the turn out would good for a big decision like this one

[bitontheslide]

i've just voted, and there was someone else there voting at the same time, so that's a great turn out

[Cherie]

I was on my own as well voting

There was only one lady in front of me at around 9.45 this morning.Very quiet.I suspect lunch time and around 5-6pm will be very busy.

If I'm counting right the remains have it in this thread so far unless people changed their minds at the polls
