People are reporting larger queues than they have ever seen before at some of the 50,000 polling stations now open across the UK.
That is on top of record numbers who have registered to vote online hinting at a huge increase in participation.
Voted as soon as I could this morning. There was even a queue at the polling station at 0700— kirsty richardson (@djkurtle) May 7, 2015
Massive queue for the polling station on campus. Great to see so many young people voting and engaged in politics.— Oliver (@OliverBerisford) May 7, 2015
An old woman just told me at the polling station she’d never had to queue to vote before & that she’s never seen so many young people vote— sophie leigh (@sophhskii) May 7, 2015
euronews asked a few voters what made them come out today:
One said: “I think this election is incredibly close between the parties and a hung parliament is very likely.”
“Therefore, everyone’s vote matters, all the more given how close it is at national level.”
