Today and tonight the UK goes to the polls to vote on whether the country should remain part of the EU.

More than 91,000 Pembroke- shire residents have the opportunity to take part in what has been labelled the most important vote in a generation.

The referendum question put to the electorate will be: “Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the Euro- pean Union or leave the European Union?”

Rhydian Thomas, head of Electoral Commission Wales, said: “On June 23, voters in Wales will get the chance to have a say on an issue of real importance, and we want everyone to feel confident in casting their vote.”

Both remain and leave camps have funded high-profile campaigns to try to sway undecided voters.

Politicians representing Pembrokeshire have also stated their views ahead of the vote. Simon Hart (Conservative MP for Carmarthen West and South Pembrokeshire) and Stephen Crabb (Conserva- tive MP for Preseli Pembroke- shire) will be voting to remain in the EU.

“Organisations like Nato and the EU have costs, have some common rules and laws that we sign up to, and are far from perfect – but nevertheless they help create a more stable continent, which directly benefits all of us,” said Mr Crabb.

Welsh Assembly members Angela Burns, Paul Davies and Eluned Morgan have also expressed their support for remaining inside the EU.

On the leave side, AM Neil Hamilton will be voting to “get our country back”.

Pembrokeshire County Council members Mike Stoddart, Vivien Stoddart and Jacob Williams are also backing a Brexit vote.

“For this one brief moment on Thursday we can recover the power that has been whittled away from us by stealth.

“We are ruled by a distant oligarchy. So seize this moment, vote to leave the EU, and restore our hard won right to rule ourselves,” said Mrs Stoddart.

Major companies, industries and organisations have also stated their views. Valero, Pembrokeshire Business Initiative and Pembrokeshire Tourism will not be advocating either position.

With the financial support UK farmers receive from the EU, both the National Farmers’ Union and Farmers’ Union of Wales have backed the remain side.

“I am convinced that for the sake of British farming we should be voting to stay in the EU and try and reform the EU from within,” said NFU president Meurig Raymond, who farms 3,400 acres in Pembrokeshire.

With a record-breaking turnout predicted, voters can cast their ballots between 7am and 10pm.
