UK polls to Decide to Remain or Not to Remain in EU

The UK is ready to go for polls in a historic referendum on whether the country should remain a member of the European Union or leave.

An estimated 46,499,537 people are entitled to take part in the vote – a record number for a UK poll.

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.

Polling stations are open between 07:00 BST and 22:00 BST.
