EU referendum results
The voting areas for the EU referendum were not the parliamentary constituencies.
There were 382 voting areas across twelve regions using the same boundaries as used in European Parliamentary elections with votes counted at local authority level. In England the 326 local government districts included unitary authorities, metropolitan boroughs, all shire districts, the London boroughs, the City of London and the Isles of Scilly. Gibraltar counted as part of South West England. Northern Ireland was a single voting area, in Scotland the 32 Scottish councils were used as voting areas as were the 22 Welsh Councils in Wales.
