No, they count after closing the polling stations. If you haven't voted, you aren't going to. Its a matter of not all the counties have reported yet.

Latest from the Guardian is:
YES: 43.8%
NO: 56.2% with just over half the councils reporting.

150,000 vote margin for No atm. This represents maybe 30% of the voters (smaller councils can count faster). Cities have not reported yet.

 

[narcon]

Its gonna be NO!!!

 

[nvKyleBrown]

Yeah, looks like No will take it. If rural voters were the ones pushing it and city folk were against, this is a dead horse.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Oh by the way ...
who decided some scots don't have right to "vote"

Why are all these "other scotish" folks not eligible ????

 

[terranMarine]

approx 200.000 behind

Lead is firming up now in favour of NO. Seems there were more silent No voters than compartively vocal Yes guys.

 

[nvKyleBrown]

Glassgow reported, slight gain for YES. Still holding at about 150k difference.

Its 9pm where i am, don't India and Pakistan have to go to work about now?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Edinburgh - 378,000 Votes remained to be counted Big population
Aberdeenshire - 200,000 Votes remained to be counted Big population

FIFE - 300,000 votes remained to be counted another Big zone
Highland - another 200,000 vote region


Still almost 1 Million votes (Big region)

plus 4 regions with almost 400,000 votes in balance (smaller regions)

 

[terranMarine]

more like 203K difference after Glasgow

 

[nvKyleBrown]
