Polling day is within touching distance and from what I’ve seen on my social media channels, the vast majority seem to be swaying towards voting to Repeal. Do we think this is a true reflection of the majority or are the No side just less likely to be vocal on their social media channels? Whatever the outcome, I think it will be close.

What are everyone else’s thoughts?

I am a yes voter and feel very nervous today. There are too many undecided voters and undecided tend to go with the status quo. This will really depend on voter turnout, it is going to be extremely close. A few people in the past few days have indicated to me that they were voting no. These are people that I would have assumed would vote yes so that has concerned me.

Fingers crossed though. I think I will hide under the bed tomorrow until result is announced won't be able to stick the tension of the count Shock

No voters are very vocal! I don't have any pro life friends so I don't see posts. But I'm still seeing adverts for love both, even though I thought they were banned. The polls show a definite yes, however, I do have a concern that there could be a brexit / trump surprise.

The #hometovote twitter tag is a fabulous read. People have gone to extraordinary lengths to get back to vote. Have fingers crossed it will be enough to tip the balance - good luck to all the Yes voters today.
