Where will the Brexit battle be won?
The key voting areas which may decide which direction Britain takes in years to come
- Labour strongholds to be looked out for during results early Friday morning
- Latest poll from Populus suggests comfortable Remain lead but polls are less than conclusive
With political party lines being crossed almost as freely as national borders within the European Union, it's difficult to tell which way the Brexit referendum outcome will go.
Voting in the referendum will be organised by 380 council areas not by constituencies, which will be the main difference from a general election night.
The Independent has chosen several constituencies which may well swing the vote in favour of either side, as polls have been inconsistent in predicting a winner.
1am Newcastle and Sunderland
Traditonally two Labour-dominated cities, this should be an early barometer as to how the party's supporters have responded to the Remain campaign.
1.30 Stirling
The first major Scottish city to declare their result, if Remain don't win this convincingly then Brexit could well be a realistic possibility.
2.00 Oxford
Remain should triumph here also, but much will depend on whether its large student population will leave their houses to vote.
2.00 Basildon
The Essex constituency is likely to favour Brexit.
3.00 Hammersmith
The general consensus is that London is heavily in favour of a Remain vote, but a close run here could mean trouble for Cameron's crew.
3.00 Torbay
The wealthy south-western region traditionally holds eurosceptic views.
4.00 Birmingham
One of the largest areas, Birmigham may give us a massive indicator as to how the result will go.
5am Glasgow and Liverpool
At this stage it may well be possible to see light at the end of the tunnel, and come reports may be calling the result.
7.00 Waveney
This is expected to be one of the very last results to come through, and if it's as close as polls are suggesting we may well have a dramtic finish to proceedings.
