What's the youth turnout like at your polling station?

[Kropotkinator]

They say they youth vote could swing it from a landslide to a hung parliament. But it also depends on the constituency.

What's the youth turnout like where you live? I can't say because I'm voting by proxy. But I think it would be interesting to collaborate!

What percentage of people are under 35 (roughly)? Are you in a safe seat or marginal? Which party current holds your seat?

Any other thoughts?

Oh has just been to vote and reported back that there were a couple of teenagers clutching polling cards.

It's quiet. However I didn't go there to vote as I've already done mine by post. As do a lot of people.

I voted at 7:03am and was one of 3 under 30s. Nobody else there but it was super early.

Also I live in a labour age seat and for what it's worth don't know anyone my age and education level voting Tory.

Well my 10 year old came to the polls at 7:10 this morning.
Apart from that......no youth at that time. Mainly tradesmen, but trade was brisk.

I live in a very student-y area in a university town and there were a number of students at my polling station. The ones I was walking behind were discussing whether a selfie with their voting paper would be enough proof that they had voted to be able to get the free drinks that were apparently on offer somewhere nearby for anyone who had voted.

Idk, I voted at 8.30am and only saw 4 other voters whilst I was there!

I'm 24 and voted at 6.30 with my partner.

Everyone else was fairly.... grey. Although, not many names crossed of the list this long into polling for a safe Tory seat.

I voted at 11.30am so most of the young would probably be working/studying. I usually vote at this time and it's the best turn out I've seen, also noticed quite a lot of names had been crossed through, so going to be a good turn out here. Late 40s here, everyone else was clearly retirement age. Very safe tory seat.

My Dcs all voted aged 36, 34, 30 & 28

I would surmise that my ds (aged 20) and I were the only non retired folk there when we were there, but that's a pretty small snapshot of the whole day.
We've had the same (Labour) MP for many a long year, but his 'majority' has gradually dropped from originally being about 30 000, to about 2000 last time. We've had celebs visit this year in the campaign as I think they are worried about how close it is.
I think you are making a jump though to think that if your are "young" (and I know that is a relative statement) you will automatically vote Labour.

Well I am dead chuffed to be classed in the youth vote

There was a boy who looked about 13 going in with his mum both with their polling cards when I went, I deliberately went early today and it was quiet and no queue
