Many Africans and Zimbabweans in particular are apprehensive on the poll outcome.

Here’s what you need to know about casting your vote. Where are we heading? The previous referendum took place in 1975. London is expected to back Remain while more rural, Leave favouring areas, are expected to report back later.

The results are expected to be known around breakfast time on Friday.

VOTERS are eager to have their say on Britain’s continued European Union membership, with long queues reported outside polling stations across the country throughout the day.

As leading campaigners took the last few steps of a bitter and bruising four-month journey, there were no exit polls to buoy or dismay them.

The fate may land in the public, but it’s the pooches waiting for their owners outside polling stations which are catching the nation’s eyes.

Voters are reminded that St Joseph’s Hall is not being used for the European Union referendum.

Yet despite everything the number of people who braved all the obstacles – from the weather to a brief and farcical row over whether using pencils might enable government spies to alter votes – appeared to be surprisingly high, with experts suggesting that turnout would beat the 60 to 66 per cent of recent general elections.

Why are the results so late?

For the count, the United Kingdom has been divided into 382 counting areas which will first verify each ballot, allowing each area to announce the turn-out.

Results will then be sent to regional count centres and then fed in finally to the national centre in Manchester. “I voted to remain”.
