It looks like the total electorate is going to be about 47.5 million, if the 523 seats we already have data for are typical.
I wonder how many living individuals that represents. Strip out the deceased and double registered, and that represents a true 100% turnout figure.
The population is 67.5 million and about 75% are adults, so the electorate ought to be about 50.6 million if everyone were registered.
So several million Labour voters excluded from the register.
‘<‘Pedant mode> If they are not on the register they might be Labour supporters but they can’t be Labour voters.’<‘/Pedant Mode> Who has been excluded?
Why not just register everyone who has an NI number?
Not everyone with an NI number is entitled to vote!
Apparently there’s more chance of the Tories underperforming because their polling is reliant on a large amount of BP and ex UKIP voters who underperformed in both the 2017 GE and 2019 Euro elections .

For the very good and obvious reason that several million people with an NI number are not entitled to vote.
I'm on the SDLP for Foyle and Belfast South for pennies so hopefully those come in. It'll be healthy to have a moderate left party with representation in Westminster for NI.

No. If you cant get to the thousands of easily accessible obviously labeled polling stations around the country where they will give you privacy to vote as you see fit and a pencil to mak your mark, then just contact the council and they will arrange for a postal vote for you in future.
Why is it ok to allow postal votes and not on-line voting?
I don't mean to be funny, but why would anybody else do some form of exit poll, when the official exit poll has shown to be very good in general (and the way they do it enables them to do seat predictions).
I can exclusively reveal that Opinium are joining Populus in conducting an on day how you voted poll.
So they are doing their own exit poll?
It wouldn't be the same as THE exit poll as they wouldn't be polling people as they leave the polling station. they would be polling people who they normally poll after they have voted (and gone home etc). (correct me if I'm wrong)

A 2018 study estimated that actual turnout of GE17 could have been nearer 78% than 68%, because of all the duplicate entries on the register and people who had died. Basically the published electorate is way too large.
Food for thought when using published electorate numbers for boundary reviews.
Good news for my prediction of a turnout above 70% for the first time since 1997.
Not if the current register is similar
Shouldn't the register be "fresher" and so have fewer mistakes in it as old expired entries get purged near the end of the year and that should have just been done?
With the introduction of rolling registers that doesn’t make nearly as much difference as it used to. But the annual canvass does mean that the register published in November is the most accurate of the year.
Edit/ anyhow the biggest issue in that 2018 study is how many people are registered twice (or more) but only vote once.

No you’re completely right . I think that polling allows more questions about why you voted a certain way etc .

Interesting how Corbyn's IRA association didn't stick to him in 2017, whereas his antisemitism has this time.
Either way, anyone voting for him should hang their heads in shame.
Jester has done more to bring about a United Ireland and is an actual racist
Anyone voting for him should hang their head in shame!!
No, I don't think he is a racist, and certainly not indisputably so. He is however a liar and a charlatan. He may not be the first such PM in my lifetime of whom that could be said, but he would certainly the first who was known to be such before he was elected.
His actions have shown that he may not be racist (or antisemitic) but he is, as are a large number of the hard left, blind to the antisemitism. his actions have shown as much.
Is there some confusion here? I was referring to Boris Johnson.
My views on Corbyn are well known and have been expressed here many times.

If Boris wins a majority then the Withdrawal Agreement will pass and there will thus be an agreed completed Deal, No Deal will no longer be possible and FTA talks will begin with the EU and it is misleading to talk about No Deal still in such a scenario, No Deal is only no completed and passed Withdrawal Agreement.
It may be we can complete a FTA within a year and before the transition period ends or it may take a bit longer but a FTA will be done

Think of how much effort and risk there would be in intercepting and editing even 150 postal ballots. You'd have to intercept them over a long period without being noticed, and then return them to the postal system.
When (and it is a when) a flaw is discovered in electronic voting you'd be able to change 10,000s of votes without needing to put on your trousers.

What I find strange is that about 12 million people on the register won't bother to vote tomorrow, including some who've specially registered in the last few weeks.
There are a good number of double registrations on the register, from students and second home owners, so may well be only 45 million unique registrations, perhaps 10% of the population not being on the register. Of course there are also a lot of longstanding EU citizens in that 10% not on the register.

No because it is not worth pointing out to people what is actually in the WAIB, that’s the one everybody has forgotten.

Why anyone thinks the EU will agree something that is a good as we already have is beyond me. But why worry about mere details a Johnson majority gives him carte Blanche to implement any future relationship he wants without parliamentary scrutiny but then how many have actually looked beyond ‘get brexit done’ it’s ss good a con job as ‘take back control’

Seriously?
Because of the lack of accountability. He (or she) who controls the computers can have any result they like regardless of votes cast. The paper votes system with piles being counted in full view is hard to beat for security, especially if the boxes are opened within minutes of the polls closing.
Remember, anyone can go to a count. You may have to view it from a public gallery but anyone can watch the process.
BTW - Postal voting should have higher levels of scrutiny and be harder to get. Individual voter registration was a good step forward as is requiring a signature to accompany postal votes (as long as the signatures are cross-checked with the registration documents as they come in)

Son has a cerantine level over 7. something as indicated by a blood test today

He would prefer to go with GP's opinion which I can understand but do I need to encourage him to go tonight?
Never take a chance. Both you and your son need peace of mind . If the doctor at the hospital thinks he should come in for more tests than I’d go with their opinion . No disrespect to the GP but that’s what I’d do.

Son has a cerantine level over 7. something as indicated by a blood test today
His GP says drink lots of water and have another test tomorrow and if a similar result occurs he will need to be admitted.
His girlfriend is a nurse and she asked doc at hospital who said come in now.
He would prefer to go with GP's opinion which I can understand but do I need to encourage him to go tonight?

Because of the lack of accountability. He (or she) who controls the computers can have any result they like regardless of votes cast. The paper votes system with piles being counted in full view is hard to beat for security, especially if the boxes are opened within minutes of the polls closing.
Remember, anyone can go to a count. You may have to view it from a public gallery but anyone can watch the process.
BTW - Postal voting should have higher levels of scrutiny and be harder to get. Individual voter registration was a good step forward as is requiring a signature to accompany postal votes (as long as the signatures are cross-checked with the registration documents as they come in)
He is out now the other reading he mentioned was "200 plus" which I gathered is really not good at all but no idea what it is referring to.
Obviously mum and /I are nervous - but don't want to increase his anxiety unless I need to make sure he goes tonight.
Thanks for replying
is there a market on how many papers are spoiled?
That'll learn 'em.
Good luck and I hope everything works out fine .
Upcoming Deltapoll confirmed.
