Need more info on what it’s all about? We’ll run you through the basics…
What is a referendum? It’s a national vote which takes place on issue and the UK gives its eligible citizens the chance to vote ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ answer to a question of national importance.
What is the referendum about? We’re being asked: ‘Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?’
What documents do I need to register? You’ll need your National Insurance number to register to vote. Look for it on payslips or official letters about tax, pensions or benefits. You can also ask for a reminder through the post.
Can I vote in the EU Referendum? You can vote in this referendum if you are registered to vote in the UK, are 18 or over on 23 June 2016 and are:
