Hard to compare voting trends with 2020

It is worth noting again that this year's election, like many in the past, is taking place on a Friday.

Voting in the 2020 General Election, however, took place on a Saturday.

This makes it difficult to compare turnout figures at similar times of day due to the differing nature of weekdays and weekends.

Until we get a final turnout figure it is hard to know where Election 24 stands when it comes to voter turnout.
