Will You Accept ...
51 Answers
... the will of people on Friday morning?
Assuming there is a clear majority one way or the other, will you accept that this is the voice of the people of the UK and get on with your life under the new (or indeed current) arrangements?
Or will you be instantly campaigning for another vote on the grounds that this one is deeply flawed in some arcane way (cf assorted Scots personages)?

As far as I know there will just be one announcement once all votes have been counted and checked, that is expected to be around lunchtime on Friday 24th. So no point in sitting up all night.
That is also why exit polls are banned, there is a lot of time between 10pm Thursday and midday Friday for people to bet on sterling rising or falling due to the result ! £ Billions could be made or lost!
Today's 'Times' headline is >>>
'' £ shows large gains on expectation of a 'Remain' vote''
If it is a shock 'Leave' vote and the bankers get wind of it via exit polls there will be a crash in the value of the £ even before the result is announced.

Wrong Eddie -
"Results will be declared as soon as they are known by the 382 local counting officers.
There are 380 council areas in Great Britain plus one area for Northern Ireland and one for Gibraltar. Regional and national running totals will be available.
The final nationwide result will be announced in Manchester Town Hall"
I expect Sunderland to be the first area to declare - at about 2am

Actually it might be before 1am - see this useful analysis :
