Today is your last chance to register to vote in the EU referendum on Thursday, June 23. 

Polling cards have already been distributed to registered voters. 

If you haven't had a polling card yet, you'll need to register to vote.

The deadline is 23:59 BST tonight.  

Those who want to register to vote by post have until 5pm on Wednesday, June 8. 

Tonight David Cameron and UKIP leader Nigel Farage will be questioned by a live studio audience on ITV at 9pm. 

How do I register?

You'll need to do this by visiting visiting gov.uk/register-to-vote. It should only take about five minutes. 

You may need your National Insurance number and your passport if you’re a British citizen living abroad. 

How do I know if I can vote?

You can vote on 23 June if you are:

  • Registered to vote
