The European Union Referendum Act required a referendum to be held on the question of the UK's continued membership of the European Union (EU) before the end of 2017. It did not contain any requirement for the UK Government to implement the results of the referendum. Instead, it was designed to gauge the electorate's opinion on EU membership. The referendums held in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland in 1997 and 1998 are examples of this type, where opinion was tested before legislation was introduced. <a href="/wiki/Referendums_in_the_United_Kingdom#Status_of_referendums" title="Referendums in the United Kingdom">The UK does not have constitutional provisions which would require the results of a referendum to be implemented</a>, unlike, for example, the <a href="/wiki/Republic_of_Ireland" title="Republic of Ireland">Republic of Ireland</a>, where the circumstances in which a binding referendum should be held are set out in <a href="/wiki/Constitution_of_Ireland" title="Constitution of Ireland">its constitution</a>.

The First Ministers of Northern Ireland, Scotland, and Wales co-signed a letter to Cameron on 3 February 2016 asking him not to hold the referendum in June, as devolved elections were scheduled to take place the previous month on 5 May. These elections had been postponed for a year to avoid a clash with the 2015 general election, after Westminster had implemented the <a href="/wiki/Fixed-term_Parliaments_Act_2011" title="Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011">Fixed-term Parliament Act</a>.

He also announced that Parliament would enact secondary legislation on 22 February relating to the European Union Referendum Act 2015.

Stronger in Europe">Britain Stronger in Europe</a>, a cross-party group campaigning for Britain to remain a member of the EU, was formed.<a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> There were two rival groups promoting British withdrawal from the EU that sought to become the official Leave campaign: <a href="/wiki/Leave.EU" title="Leave.EU">Leave.EU</a> (which was endorsed by most of <a href="/wiki/UKIP" class="mw-redirect" title="UKIP">UKIP</a>, including <a href="/wiki/Nigel_Farage" title="Nigel Farage">Nigel Farage</a>), and <a href="/wiki/Vote_Leave" title="Vote Leave">Vote Leave</a> (endorsed by Conservative Party Eurosceptics). In January 2016, <a href="/wiki/Nigel_Farage" title="Nigel Farage">Nigel Farage</a> and the Leave.EU campaign became part of the <a href="/wiki/Grassroots_Out" title="Grassroots Out">Grassroots Out</a> movement, which was borne out of infighting between Vote Leave and Leave.EU campaigners.<a href="#cite_note-75">[75]</a><a href="#cite_note-76">[76]</a> In April, the <a href="/wiki/Electoral_Commission_(United_Kingdom)" title="Electoral Commission (United Kingdom)">Electoral Commission</a> announced that Britain Stronger in Europe and Vote Leave were to be designated as the official remain and leave campaigns respectively.<a href="#cite_note-77">[77]</a> This gave them the right to spend up to £7,000,000, a free mailshot, TV broadcasts and £600,000 in public funds. The UK Government's official position was to support the Remain campaign. Nevertheless, Cameron announced that Conservative Ministers and MPs were free to campaign in favour of remaining in the EU or leaving it, according to their conscience. This decision came after mounting pressure for a <a href="/wiki/Free_vote" class="mw-redirect" title="Free vote">free vote</a> for ministers.<a href="#cite_note-78">[78]</a> In an exception to the usual rule of <a href="/wiki/Cabinet_collective_responsibility" title="Cabinet collective responsibility">cabinet collective responsibility</a>, Cameron allowed cabinet ministers to campaign publicly for EU withdrawal.<a href="#cite_note-79">[79]</a> A Government-backed campaign was launched in April.<a href="#cite_note-80">[80]</a> On 16 June, all official national campaigning was suspended until 19 June following the <a href="/wiki/Murder_of_Jo_Cox" title="Murder of Jo Cox">murder of Jo Cox</a>.<a href="#cite_note-jocox-81">[81]</a> After internal polls suggested that 85% of the UK population wanted more information about the referendum from the government, <a href="/wiki/Pro-EU_leaflet" title="Pro-EU leaflet">a leaflet</a> was sent to every household in the UK.<a href="#cite_note-82">[82]</a> It contained details about why the government believed the UK should remain in the EU. This leaflet was criticised by those wanting to leave as giving the remain side an unfair advantage; it was also described as being inaccurate and a waste of taxpayers' money (it cost £9.3m in total).<a href="#cite_note-83">[83]</a> During the campaign, <a href="/wiki/Nigel_Farage" title="Nigel Farage">Nigel Farage</a> suggested that there would be public demand for a second referendum should the result be a remain win closer than 52–48%, because the leaflet meant that the remain side had been permitted to spend more money than the leave side.<a href="#cite_note-84">[84]</a> In the week beginning on 16 May, the <a href="/wiki/Electoral_Commission_(United_Kingdom)" title="Electoral Commission (United Kingdom)">Electoral Commission</a> sent a voting guide regarding the referendum to every household within the UK and Gibraltar to raise awareness of the upcoming referendum. The eight-page guide contained details on how to vote, as well as a sample of the actual ballot paper, and a whole page each was given to the campaign groups Britain Stronger in Europe and Vote Leave to present their case.<a href="#cite_note-85">[85]</a><a href="#cite_note-86">[86]</a> The Vote Leave campaign argued that if the UK left the EU, national <a href="/wiki/Sovereignty" title="Sovereignty">sovereignty</a> would be protected, immigration controls could be imposed, and the UK would be able to sign trade deals with the rest of the world. The UK would also be able to stop membership payments to the EU every week.<a href="#cite_note-87">[87]</a><a href="#cite_note-90">[note 1]</a> The Britain Stronger in Europe campaign argued that

36%.<a href="#cite_note-243">[242]</a> The largest ever poll (of 20,000 people, in March 2014) showed the public evenly split on the issue, with 41% in favour of withdrawal, 41% in favour of membership, and 18% undecided.<a href="#cite_note-244">[243]</a> However, when asked how they would vote if Britain renegotiated the terms of its membership of the EU, and the UK Government stated that British interests had been satisfactorily protected, more than 50% indicated that they would vote for Britain to stay in.<a href="#cite_note-245">[244]</a> Analysis of polling suggested that

The Leave campaign argued that a reduction in red tape associated with EU regulations would create more jobs and that small to medium-sized companies who trade domestically would be the biggest beneficiaries. Those arguing to remain in the EU, claimed that millions of jobs would be lost. The EU's importance as a trading partner and the outcome of its trade status if it left was a disputed issue. Whereas those wanting to stay cited that most of the UK's trade was made with the EU, those arguing to leave say that its trade was not as important as it used to be. Scenarios of the economic outlook for the country if it left the EU were generally negative. The United Kingdom also paid more into the EU budget than it received.<a href="#cite_note-BBCinorout-258">[257]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a

The 382 voting areas were grouped into twelve regional counts and there was separate declarations for each of the regional counts. In England, as happened in the <a href="/wiki/2011_United_Kingdom_Alternative_Vote_referendum" title="2011 United Kingdom Alternative Vote referendum">2011 AV referendum</a>, the 326 <a href="/wiki/Districts_of_England" title="Districts of England">districts</a> were used as the local voting areas and the returns of these then fed into nine <a href="/wiki/Regions_of_England" title="Regions of England">English regional</a> counts. In Scotland the local voting areas were the <a href="/wiki/Local_government_in_Scotland" title="Local government in Scotland">32 local councils</a> which then fed their results into the Scottish national count, and in Wales the <a href="/wiki/Local_government_in_Wales" title="Local government in Wales">22 local councils</a> were their local voting areas before the results were then fed into the Welsh national count. Northern Ireland, as was the case in the AV referendum, was a single voting and national count area although local totals by Westminster parliamentary constituency areas were announced. Gibraltar was a single voting area, but as Gibraltar was to be treated and included as if it were a part of South West England, its results was included together with the South West England regional count.<a href="#cite_note-section11-293">[292]</a> The following table shows the breakdown of the voting areas and regional counts that were used for the referendum.<a href="#cite_note-section11-293">[292]</a> <table class="wikitable" style="width:70%;"> <tbody><tr> <th width="35%">Country </th> <th width="35%">Counts and voting areas </th></tr> <tr> <td>United Kingdom (together with Gibraltar, treated as if it were a [full] part of the United Kingdom) </td> <td>Referendum declaration; 12 regional counts; 382 voting areas (381 in the UK, 1 in Gibraltar) </td></tr></tbody></table> <table class="wikitable" style="width:70%;"> <tbody><tr> <th width="35%">Constituent countries </th> <th width="35%">Counts and voting areas </th></tr> <tr> <td>England (together with Gibraltar, treated as if it were a part of South West England) </td> <td>9 regional counts; 327 voting areas (326 in the UK, 1 in Gibraltar) </td></tr> <tr> <td>Northern Ireland </td> <td>National count and single voting area; 18 parliamentary constituency totals </td></tr> <tr> <td>Scotland </td> <td>National count; 32 voting areas </td></tr> <tr> <td>Wales </td> <td>National count; 22 voting areas </td></tr></tbody></table> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Expat_Disenfranchisement_Legal_Challenges">Expat Disenfranchisement Legal Challenges</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum&action=edit&section=39" title="Edit section: Expat Disenfranchisement Legal Challenges">edit</a>]</div> British expat Harry Shindler, a <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> veteran living in <a href="/wiki/Italy" title="Italy">Italy</a>, took legal action as the UK does not permit citizens residing abroad who have not lived in the UK for over 15 years to vote in elections. Shindler believed this prohibition violated his rights as he wished to vote in the referendum.<a href="#cite_note-294">[293]</a> He had previously raised a case in 2009 (Shindler v. the United Kingdom 19840/09) regarding his rights to vote in UK general elections that the <a href="/wiki/European_Court_of_Human_Rights" title="European Court of Human Rights">European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR)</a> deemed did not violate his rights.<a href="#cite_note-295">[294]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="UK_High_Court">UK High Court</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum&action=edit&section=40" title="Edit section: UK High Court">edit</a>]</div> Shindler first sued the <a href="/wiki/UK_government" class="mw-redirect" title="UK government">UK government</a> before the referendum, claiming that his disenfranchisement was a penalty against <a href="/wiki/UK_citizens" class="mw-redirect" title="UK citizens">UK citizens</a> who live abroad, exercising their <a href="/wiki/Freedom_of_movement" title="Freedom of movement">EU right of free movement</a>, thus violating his right as an <a href="/wiki/EU_citizen" class="mw-redirect" title="EU citizen">EU citizen</a>. This 15-year prohibition on voting, Shindler argued, discourages British citizens from continuing to exercise their free movement rights as they are required to return to the UK to vote in the EU referendum.<a href="#cite_note-:02-296">[295]</a> The <a href="/wiki/High_Court_of_Justice" title="High Court of Justice">High Court</a>, on 20 April 2016, rejected Shindler’s claims, saying that it is "totally unrealistic" that the 15-year prohibition would deter citizens from settling in another Member State. The court also found that "significant practical difficulties" in allowing residents abroad for more than 15 years to vote permits the government to enact this restriction.<a href="#cite_note-:02-296">[295]</a> Further, the High Court found that this prohibition, even if it did violate EU rights, is a parliamentary prerogative as "<a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">Parliament</a> could legitimately take the view that electors who satisfy the test of closeness of connection set by the 15 year rule form an appropriate group to vote on the question whether the United Kingdom should remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union."<a href="#cite_note-:02-296">[295]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="European_Court_of_Justice">European Court of Justice</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=2016_United_Kingdom_European_Union_membership_referendum&action=edit&section=41" title="Edit section: European Court of Justice">edit</a>]</div> After the referendum, Shindler brought a case against the <a href="/wiki/Council_of_the_EU" class="mw-redirect" title="Council of the EU">Council of the EU</a> in the <a href="/wiki/General_Court_(European_Union)" title="General Court (European Union)">General Court</a>.

He claims the Council should have "sought judicial review of the constitutionality of the notification of the intention to withdraw” because depriving UK citizens to vote in the referendum is contrary to EU law. Shindler claimed that “the Council should have refused or stayed the opening of negotiations” between the EU and the UK.<a href="#cite_note-:1-298">[297]</a> In November 2018, however, the court found Shindler's arguments unconvincing as the decision to recognize the referendum did not "directly affect the legal situation of the applicants."

The main reason people voted Remain was that "the risks of voting to leave the EU looked too great when it came to things like the economy, jobs and prices".<a href="#cite_note-Ashcroft-327">[326]</a>
