After ~300 of us spent Mon eve watching the Register-to-Vote site stats on GOV.UK, I just checked aggregates. gov.uk/performance/re… /1
On Mon,last day to register for #ge2017, 662k people did:
256k <25s
207k 25-34s
89k 35-44s
47.9k 45-54s
21.2k 55-64s
7.7k 65-74s
3.5k 75+

Yes, 662,000 users aren't necessarily 662,000 UK potential voters registering. Some will be repeats, some may not in fact be eligible. /3
But still,
a) 662k users knew (yay for putting the word out, BTW)
b) they make it happen before the deadline
c) we have live data on it. /3
Don't mind me, I'm just quietly marvelling at what simple digital services can do for our democracy. 4/4
