POLLING STATIONS FOR the referendum vote are open from 7am to 10pm today.

With a bitterly-fought campaign between the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ campaigns now over, there are fears that voters may have been put off by the legalese, jargon and political point-scoring and that the turnout at the polls will be low.

(We tried to cut through the hyperbole to have your questions about the nitty gritty of the Fiscal Compact answered here.)

We’d like to know: Are you planning to vote today?

Poll Results:

I am going to vote today (4029)

I'm not going to vote today (900)

I don't know yet whether I will cast a vote (373)

Note: Later this evening, we will be posting another poll to ask people to tell us which way they voted (if they voted).
