When were the spikes in registering to vote?

For an update on the BBC's election liveblog on November 27 2019, Dan Wainwright looked at peaks in voter registration leading up to the deadline the previous night.

The image was created using R and the package ggplot.

"About 660,000 people signed up to vote yesterday, just in time for the midnight deadline.

"This graph shows other big spikes in people registering to vote over the last month - including around the time of big TV political debates."
