Are the ballot papers marked in anyway? What is to stop me copying 100 and stuffing them in the ballot box?

I'm actually tempted to start a rumour that the Remain side is going to use all the unused ballots to vote to stay in. I could genuinely see people falling for it.
Miles, have a Snickers. You vote leave when you're hungry.
Maps showing the highest areas of immigration tend to also be the highest areas for remain votes. The areas with low immigration tend to be the most fearful about it.
(That's not exclusive - there are areas with high immigration that are pro-leave, but generally it holds. London obviously being a key example).
they're numbered one by one, aren't they
Also a lot of 'information providers' in the middle of the town centre wearing 'remain' or 'leave' t-shirts and handing out leaflets. One remain person said we could ask any questions but he might not be able to answer all of them (presumably because of the rules against campaigning) - but this felt like campaigning in all but name.
Unique IDs.
Pretty much everyone i've talked to today has loudly proclaimed their intention to vote Leave. So i can agree with that

Depends - the East has some areas with very high (relatively) populations of immigrants, either seasonal or otherwise. That, understandably, creates a tension that simply hasn't been resolved, and UKIP has profited.
Other areas - Cornwall, say - you gotta wonder.

Apologies if already posted/but why
You know when 9/10 you'd think its a joke but then you realise some people think MI5 are(n't) going to change the ballot papers and sweet prices will rise...

After we've "taken back our country", we can focus our efforts on taking back our language.
Not marked but total count can't exceed registered voters for that polling station...

So you could probably get a cheeky hundred in there?
They are putting 1 remain vote in for every voter, we will end up with something like this.

Can we stay in the EU but have you deported?

not tag worthy
So it would have been after watching Jeremy Kyle?
I think what ever you voted , you voted at least
I thought it was the other way around? I'm sure I read something from an Expert that, in the past, Labour has suffered during really bad weather.
Leave are likely to get more votes in the coastal and rural areas where the weather will probably have a worse impact.
If the government wanted to rig the election; I'm sure pens won't stop them. Plus a pen smudge might cause your vote to be invalid, if they really wanted to rig the hell out of this.

Just got back from voting (Birmingham), asked them how the turnout has been and they said it's not been as high as they expected. Comparable to general election numbers.
Just went out to vote. I'm remain.
But no matter what the result it I think the question will remain unanswered. Whenever the next inevitable global economic crash is (I'm predicting 2017) It will be worse than 2008 and if we chose to leave, our troubles will be blamed on that, if we chose to stay it would be presented as evidence that Europe never protected our economic security. Either way it will because we live under a shitty economic system that crashes every 10 years and presents the solution as awful austerity policies that do nothing to help and only benefit the wealthy.
The EU plays its role in that, but I have no reason to believe that the UK will change for the better if we leave, it will be far worse. In fact all leaving will do is empower the far right who have already been empowered through this awful referendum.

Voted remain 
First time voting for me. There was considerably less cheering than I had been led to believe, but it was exciting nonetheless.
Also made sure to use pencil so MI5 can correct any mistakes I made.

I hope not. I voted leave but I'd hate to see the idiots come out rioting. I do worry that EDL are waiting in the wings to resurface.
There weren't for the Scoxit. And the Scots like a riot.

I voted remain. Waheeey.
I even held the door open for 3 pensioners who were about 20seconds away from the entrance.
Being an ethnic minority I thought I'd show em we are human beings and perhaps that would persuade em to vote remain.
Last ditch attempt.
MI5 will make sure the winning margin is large enough to prevent that.

Where I work also serves as a polling station, so I've been able to watch the traffic coming and going for most of the day. Crazy numbers of people. I was talking to one of the women helping out and she said the queue this morning before they'd even opened the gates was about the same size as the number of people they had all day for the police commissioner stuff last month.
It's definitely been nice to see people so driven, and a good variety of ages. Even if I do wake up to the dreaded Leave vote tomorrow morning, I'll at least take solace in the fact that people cared enough to vote for it.

There were not riots, but there was a great deal of animosity after.
Remain voters truly are getting desperate.

That's because they already have front doors
You're ordering shit they don't need. Hell, I'd be pissed off if you started ordering doors from fucking Groupon to mine when I don't need them

Depends on how you define 'rural' in that regard, I think. Being a farmer is not the same as just living in a village, and even then there's a difference between living there as a matter of history, or because you can afford not to live near convenience.
My grandparents on my mother's side are formerly the, uh, former, but mostly reside in the latter right now. I dunno how precisely they're voting, if at all, but you really got next to no sense of influences from outside of the country where they live, while the town I grew up in just breathes with globalism. So it may be that people feel like they're functionally independent of the EU in their own locality, so shirking off the politics should be easy, right?

Haha, yes, I see a direct correlation between age and probability I don't get a thank you. Also, men say thank you more than women.
All anecdotal.
