What's happening where you are on EU referendum polling day? EU referendum results night: what's the mood like where you are?
(about 9 hours later)
Voters are going to the polls in what is considered a close-fought referendum campaign. Polling stations have opened across the United Kingdom on Thursday morning after a closely-fought referendum campaign that neither side is confident enough to call. Polls have closed in Britain’s historic EU referendum, and counting has begun. We want to know what the mood’s like where you are as the UK awaits the results.
A record 46.5 million voters across the UK and Gibraltar were registered to vote, with early indications suggesting a high turnout; some clerks reported 70% turnout in some areas, higher than the 66% in the 2015 general election.

A final rash of polls offered mixed predictions, with two putting remain ahead and two suggesting leads for leave. Most suggest as many as 10% of voters are still undecided, meaning much could hinge on turnout today. YouGov polled almost 5,000 people on Wednesday and found that the remain camp was just in front at 51%. Returning to the same people on the day of the vote the number edged up to 52%.
