UK Votes to Leave EU; David Cameron Resigns As Prime Minister

The United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union as million of people turned out to vote on Thursday.

But as results kept coming in overnight, the vote, with 274 of 382 electoral districts reporting, was 51.63% in favor of leaving the EU.

Polls closed at 10 p.m. . As results come in, they will be announced by region. The 12 regions include Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales, London and eight English regions. Almost 46.5 million people were registered to take part in the historic vote.

The UK has been a member of the European Union (and its precursors) since 1973.
