DHAKA: Counting is underway in a referendum that will decide whether the UK remains a member of the European Union (EU).

The counting is taking place at centres around the UK in a vote widely seen as too close to call, reports the BBC.

There is no exit poll - so the millions who cast a ballot will have to wait until results start coming in to find out how the country voted.

Flash floods in the South of England disrupted voting and led to some polling stations being relocated.

Meanwhile, an online survey taken on polling day of 5,000 people by YouGov suggests the Remain side running at 52 percent of the vote, to Leave’s 48 percent.
