The UK will vote on whether to leave or stay in the EU during a referendum on Thursday, June 23.
On the ballot paper, voters will be asked: “Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?”

They will then choose whether they want to “Remain a member of the European Union” or “Leave the European Union” by placing a cross in the appropriate box.

Counting will begin as soon as polls close. The overall result for the whole of the UK will be announced in Manchester, when all 382 voting areas have declared.

In an article, the BBC explains how to vote.

“There's nothing in the law that specifically bans taking photos, but the Electoral Commission strongly discourages any photography inside a polling station, "as you might find yourself in breach of secrecy of the ballot requirements". Anyone who inadvertently reveals how someone else votes could face a £5,000 fine or six months in prison. Consequently, you will see "no photography" signs inside many polling stations. The Commission advises it would be better to take a photo outside the polling station to use on social media,” one of the points reads.
