In or out? UK votes in historic referendum on EU membership.
British voters are heading to the polls Today in a historic referendum on whether the United Kingdom should leave the European Union.
A record number of almost 46.5 million people are registered to take part in the once-in-a generation vote.
The registered voters include Britons from England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Gibraltar - a British territory off the southern coast of Spain. British citizens living abroad have already cast their votes by mail.
Polling stations across the UK opened at 7 a.m. local time and will close at 10 p.m. with the first results expected about midnight. The final, nationwide result is expected to be announced Friday morning.
The UK has been a member of the European Union since 1973. European citizens living in the UK are not eligible to vote unless they're from Malta or Cyprus - both members of the Commonwealth.
Once the results are in, they will be announced by region rather than by constituency. The 12 regions comprise Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, London and eight English regions.
