Referendum results to be announced Sunday

Voting in the Hammersmith EU Treaty referendum has now closed and the results are set to be announced by the
I Want a Referendum campaign on Sunday 2nd March.


Everybody on the open electoral register in Hammersmith - some 26,000 voters - were sent postal ballot papers at the beginning of February.

Hammersmith was one of 10 constituencies across the country which were selected to hold referendums in what has been the biggest vote on the EU since 1975.

Voters were asked two questions:

1. Should the United Kingdom hold a national referendum on the EU's Lisbon Treaty: yes or no?

2. Should the United Kingdom adopt the EU's Lisbon Treaty: yes or no?

The announcement comes at the start of the week in which MPs will finally vote on amendments to the Lisbon Treaty Bill calling for a referendum. The votes take place on Wednesday March 5th.

Check back here on Sunday for the results!
