FINAL preparations are being made to make sure everything is in place to make sure the EU Referendum on June 23 goes to plan with the deadline to register to vote being midnight today.

Turnout is expected to be high due to the high level of interest but there are concerns many people who want to have their say will not be able to do so as they won't have registered.

Anyone who is planning to vote in the referendum has until the end of today to make sure they are on the electoral register, although anyone who was able to vote in last month's local election should be on the list.

An Electoral Commission spokesman said: "There's only one way to ensure you're able to have your say at this historic referendum and that's to be registered to vote by June 7.

"Anyone who was already registered to vote for the elections in May will be registered for the EU Referendum.

"If your circumstances have changed since May, for example if you've moved home, then you need to re-register at your new property."

Many of the polling cards, which list the nearest polling station, have already been delivered.
