Great Britain will use simple paper ballots, marked by pen, for the June 23 referendum on whether the country should leave the European Union. Nothing else is on the ballot. See here for a picture of the ballot (scroll down), and to read who is eligible to vote. The polls are open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thanks to Thomas Jones for the link.
Ballot Access News

Many countries deliberately hold elections for different jurisdictions at different times. This is in part because executive officers are not typically elected, and also the greater period between elections.
If the United States had a parliamentary form of government, there might be an election every five years, with special elections when the prime minister lost a vote of confidence. There would be a simple ballot with only one office.
Elections for the legislative assemblies in the states would be held on a different schedule and would not be coincident between states and again would be a simple election for an MLA.
Local elections might be on a periodic schedule, but the only offices on the ballot would likely be for a member of a city or county council.
Parliamentary regimes = TYRANT mixture of legislative and executive powers in the same robot party hacks —
See the ROTTED parliamentary / gerrymander regimes in the UK, Canada, India, etc. — lots of UNSTABLE regimes ready to blow up any second.
One of the few things in the USA holding the place together is SEPARATION OF POWERS — despite the nonstop gerrymanders since 1776.

P.R. and nonpartisan App.V.
This is a UNITED KINGDOM referendum.
Great Britain = England + Wales + Scotland.
The UK = Great Britain + Northern Ireland.
The referendum also includes Gibraltar for some obscure legal reason.
All our elections involve paper ballots and pencils (you can use a pen if you want but polling booths only provide pencils).
No hanging chads or butterfly ballots for us thank you very much !
All the ballots will be hand counted too.
The Brits have their very expensive ONE item elections since the top HACKS regard the People as being too stupid to handle 2 or more things at an election.
One obvious problem — the various election systems for voting on various things in the various parts of the U.K. — i.e. MAJOR confusion quite possible.
See the INFAMOUS Scotland election circa 2007.
Demo Rep. Stop showing your ignorance and spouting your usual nonsense.
In 2015 for example we had a General Election AND local elections in many parts of the country on the same day with very little problems for counting either poll.
In May this year many parts of the country had multiple separate ballots e.g. In London for Mayor, GLA constituency member and GLA cross London List members. Again with very little problems. In Bristol for example there were polls for Mayor, Council and Police & Crime Commissioner.
The 2007 Scotland Election is not ‘infamous’ at all. True there were issues but it’s not as though there was total meltdown. Ballots were still counted and officials elected.
ChrisInEngland… I’m starting to think that DemoRep has a mental disorder.
