You probably already know that today is polling day. All over the UK, people are going to polling stations to cast their vote. However, in the past years, only about 60% of people have voted in the general election. Many of those who don't vote are under 25 but this year there has been several campaigns to try and change this. As E4 is considered a younger persons channel, they have not shown any TV programs all day. All that is on the screen is a very board man called Darren who's job it is to make sure E4 is turned off and subtitles to tell you what's going on.
Later on this evening, BBC1 and ITV1 will show you the people counting votes and telling you the results as they come in. If you think that's a bit boring, you could watch Channel 4's alternative election night. All evening they are showing topical comedy shows including a special edition of Goggle Box. After 7 O'clock, E4 will run as normal and as today is a Quite Big Thursday, there will be brand new episodes of The Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls and Brooklyn 99.
Also, I have put a Polling day themed poll on my blog. As usually, it is not available on mobile view. Alternatively, you can share your views on voting via the comments.
