The weather could not have been better as Fifers flooded to the polls to have their say on the UK’s EU future.
Stations across the Kingdom experienced a steady flow of voters throughout the day, with the summer sunshine doing its bit to encourage the public to the polls.
At midday there was a constant stream of voters heading to Kelty community centre.
There were reports of staff having been “kept busy” during the morning, a situation that was replicated at other venues throughout the region.
Voters in Glenrothes appeared determined to have their say on the United Kingdom’s future in Europe, with polling stations in the town contending with a conveyor belt of people.
One woman, who voted at Rimbleton Primary School, said that she felt compelled to take part in the vote.
Though not wishing to state her name, she said: “It is such a big decision I don’t think I could not come out and vote.
“My husband was out voting first thing this morning and he said it was already busy.”
A slow start to the day was recorded in Buckhaven, however, turnout was expected to pick up as the day progressed.
What was particularly unusual for polling day was the lack of activists outside of the region’s stations.
Traditionally polling stations are manned by political activists, however, the absence of party politics in Thursday’s historic referendum meant that only a handful of signs were in place outside of schools and community halls as people went to cast their vote.
Turnout is predicted to be higher than that for last month’s Scottish Parliament elections, when a reasonably healthy 55.6% of eligible voters took part.
