European Union referendum: UK goes to the polls [UK Independence Day]
BBC ^

Posted on 06/23/2016 2:32:04 AM PDT by UKrepublican

Voting is under way in a historic referendum on whether the UK should remain a member of the European Union or leave. A record 46,499,537 people are entitled to take part, according to provisional figures from the Electoral Commission. Polling stations opened at 07:00 BST and will close at 22:00 BST. It is only the third nationwide referendum in UK history and comes after a four-month battle for votes between the Leave and Remain campaigns. In common with other broadcasters, the BBC is limited in what it can report while polls are open but you can follow the results as they come in across the BBC after polls close on Thursday evening.

The first result is in: Gibraltar 96% remain - no surprise there.
Some further results should start to drop in over the next hour or so, however even with a relatively clear cut result it will take until 4 am British time before a certain projection can be made. Final votes counted some hours later.

First positive indication of the night: Newcastle upon Tyne declares. The.Remains have it but much closer than the pundits predicted 65000 votes to 63000 votes. Maybe all is not lost.

Hope the abstainers aND nay-sayers are flushed from office. This is a great day for the English and I hope other vassals of the EU are just as contumacious.
