The stakes could not be higher in the referendum on whether we stay or leave the EU.

As the campaign enters the final weeks, how will Kent voters find out the results for their area?

Here’s our guide to the timetable on June 23.

Question: Is it too late to register to vote?

Answer: Not now. The deadline for registering to vote in the EU referendum has been extended to midnight tonight.

That's after a website that allowed people to sign-up crashed this week.

Question: When can you vote?

Answer: Polling stations will be open between 7am to 10pm to cast your vote.

Question: How will we know what the results are in Kent?

Answer: Counting the votes will be done by local authority area.

Across the UK, there will be 382 counts, and each local council will be responsible for counting the votes in their area.

These results will be declared in the same way other election results are, with the returning officer announcing the number who voted to leave and those that voted to stay, along with turnout.

Question: What time will we get the local results for Kent?

The count will start at 10pm but when each area will declare the results is hard to say.

The Electoral Commission forecasts that the results in Kent will mostly be declared between 3am and 4am.

In Medway, the result is expected to be about 6am as it covers a larger area.

However, these forecasts should be treated with caution, especially as this is a unique election for the UK and if turnout is high - which many think it will be - the results could come much later.

The forecast for Kent declarations is:

Dover: 2am

Maidstone 3am

Shepway 3am

Thanet: 3am

Tunbridge Wells: 3am to 4am

Dartford 3.30am

Ashford 4am

Canterbury 4am

Sevenoaks 4am

Swale: 4am

Tonbridge and Malling: 4am

Gravesham 5am

Medway 6am

Question: When will we find out the final overall result?

Answer: The Electoral Commission says we will probably find out “at breakfast time” - but is no firmer than that.

Kent’s results will be relayed to the south east regional count - one of 11 - that is taking place in Southampton, where they will be validated.

There will then be a result for the region, which will be passed to the national counting centre in Manchester. That is where the final result will be declared.

Question: How can you find out the results for Kent?

Answer: We will be covering all the results for Kent along with reaction and analysis as it happens overnight on KentOnline.

Councils are expected to publish their results on their own websites.
