In just three weeks time, millions of people across the UK will be voting in the General Election.
Opinion polls continue to suggest the Conservative Party enjoys a strong lead over Labour.
The latest poll averages put the Tories on 43%, with Labour on 29%, the Lib Dems 14%, the Brexit Party 5% and the Greens 3%.
Yet recent history suggests a lot could happen in the next 21 days.
Over two million people have registered to vote since the election was announced, and you can still register until the end of Tuesday November 26.
What is the likelihood of the polls shifting decisively between now and election day?
At this point in the 2017 election campaign, the polls showed the Tories on 47%, with Labour on 31%, the Lib Dems on 8%, Ukip on 5% and the Greens on 3%.
But on election day, the Tories finished on 43% – four points below where they had been three weeks earlier – while Labour had risen 10 points to 41%.
While the Lib Dems remained on 8%, both Ukip and the Greens dropped to 2%.
The change was enough to deny the Tories a majority and produce a hung parliament.
There was movement in 2015 as well, albeit on a smaller scale and with different consequences.
Three weeks before polling day in 2015, both the Tories and Labour were averaging 34% with Ukip on 13%, the Lib Dems 8% and the Greens 5%.
These figures pointed to a hung parliament – but come election day, the Tories opened up a seven-point lead over Labour to finish on 38% while Labour ended on 31%.
Ukip, the Lib Dems and Green finished on 13%, 8% and 4% respectively.
This was enough to give the Conservatives a small overall majority in parliament.
The pattern in 2015 and 2017 suggests a lot can change in the three weeks before polling day.
It also serves as a reminder that polls are not predictions, merely snapshots of opinion at a certain point in time.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
