EU Referendum: Britain goes to Polls

Voting is under way in a historic referendum on whether the UK should remain a member of the European Union or leave.

Over 46 and a half million people are entitled to take part, according to provisional figures from the Electoral Commission.

Polling stations opened at 7am and close at 10pm Thursday.

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.
