VOTERS have one week left to register for the referendum, with the deadline for those not already on the electoral register set for Tuesday, September 2.

Hopes of a large turnout are high, with more than 50,000 forms already downloaded from the Electoral Commission website.

Andy O'Neill of the Electoral Commission said: "There's a huge amount of interest in the referendum and that's reflected in the unprecedented response to the first 10 days of our campaign."

With just a week left to register to vote forms can be downloaded at www.aboutmyvote.co.uk or call the helpline on 0800 3 280 280 to request one.
