    As far as I know, there was an opportunity to register for postal voting if you live far away from your registered address.

    I am sure this will affect the turnout today as many students and people working, myself included won't be able to vote due to the distance involved in travelling.

    Didn't hear about registering for a postal vote though.

    Why was Thursday selected anyway?
