I am obviously missing a trick here ....
Do you have to let them call you? Because I might struggle with that

Never been asked to do a phone poll. Don't know why.
I used to make at £10-20 a month off market research and polls for very little effort.
I only dabble these days and stick with YouGov and IPSOS so as to keep a high proportion of political polling.
The market research is painless though. 5 minutes of telling companies that their advert is shit, their product is shit and no, I won't be buying it. Job done. Come to think of it, that's exactly what I do in the political ones too!

I recently made the mistake of responding to an email that offered bonus points for my supermarket, thinking that it was from my supermarket, and ever since I have been bombarded with crappy emails for all sorts of tat..
Definitely the last time I will be doing that .. they all get caught in my spam traps but what concerns me is that I may have been added to an email list .. forever ..
I wish there was a TPS for email addresses!

I'm quite surprised by the postal vote thing. Is Smithson suggesting there's been a Leave surge from early postal votes (and how, methodologically, would he/the polls pick up on that?) 
Maybe us postal-vote-registering people who are getting our first ever postal votes because we're going to Glastonbury over the 23rd (most of those in our category will probably be Remainers) are very few indeed in number, and thus a niche minority.

The point is that people will be casting their postal votes now at a time when Leave is apparently enjoying a bit of a boost, so that could favour Leave.

As his tweet says, the polls merely measure a sample of opinion...he's stressing the (potentially significant) coincidence of polls demonstrating an increase in 'Leave' and the start of actual, postal voting.I'm quite surprised by the postal vote thing.

Thanks, as speculation that makes logical sense. I think I was wondering though whether he knew more about how postal votes would head than he could possibly yet know. I was overinterpreting it.

Hrmm. Do you just sign up on their website for this?

Yeah.
You do have to fill in a LOT of demographic information.
There's also a high proportion of market research to wade through. But I get less and less of that and more political polling these days. I must have hit a sweet spot demographic wise.

Do any election geeks know how the counting will proceed and the results come in? Will different districts declare before sending off their totals to be collated? Just trying to plan ahead and wondering whether it will be a stay up all night job or a wake up nice and early one?

Not clear in that link, but was that IPSOS-Mori poll for the Evening Standard London-area only??
