The polls close down at 10 PM.
I wonder how long it'll take them to count it or is it gonna be almost instant like it is in the US?
I also heard the vote is not binding anyway so what's the point, really? Oh well, I guess we will find out tomorrow.
They estimate results will be known 7am (local time.) Also, it is important to note that they extended the time period for voter registration because polls said that younger people, often not registered, are more likely to support "stay" (they claimed the extended registration was due to 'technical problems' but....)
On the good side, unlike so many other referendums, bond issues, etc the language on this one is very clear and easy to figure out:
"The referendum question will read:
“Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?”
Voters will have the option of putting an “x” next to one of two answers:
“Remain a member of the European Union.”
“Leave the European Union.”"
The polls being so close I wonder if this could end up being a British version of "hanging chads" with questions of "is this mark a cross or not?"
