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.

The referendum ballot paper asks the following question: "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?"

Whichever side gets more than half of all votes cast is considered to have won.

As at the time of filing this report, British Prime Minister, David Cameron and Samantha Cameron have cast their EU referendum votes in London.
