SURGE IN APPLICATIONS TO REGISTER TO VOTE
It's ahead of a possible election in December
Nearly two million people have applied to register to vote in the past eight weeks, according to Government figures.
This is almost double the number for the previous eight weeks.
Ever since a snap general election was first proposed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in early September, the number of applications has averaged around a quarter of a million every week.
In total, 1,966,876 applications were submitted in the eight weeks to October 27.
