A surge in applications
This year’s election period has seen a massive 2.8 million applications since the election was called. That’s over one million more than the comparable pre-deadline period during the last election, which saw 1.7m applications (according to the Electoral Forms Register.)
The highest number of applications so far was last Friday, which saw over 300,000 individuals register to vote in a single day. This is almost double any other day since the election was called.
