Since Theresa May called an election, 2 million young people have registered to vote

On the deadline day for registering to vote in the upcoming general election, 622,389 people applied to the electoral register.

Of these, 246,487 (39.6 per cent) were under 25 and 206,659 (33.2 per cent) were between 25 and 34.

Here's some perspective on how vote registrations spiked in the last few days prior to the window closing.

On the final day of voter registration, under 25-year-olds were most likely to apply (246,487), followed by 25 to 34-year-olds (206,659), and 35 to 44-year-olds (88,956).

Since 18 April, when Theresa May called for a 8 June general election, over 1 million people under the age of 25 registered to vote:
