Glasgow Shows Only 75% Turnout in Scottish Independence Vote




In Glasgow, the turnout in Thursday’s Scottish independence referendum was only 75 percent, which is lower than was expected. The turnout was announced by the head by a local election commission. At 10 p.m. local time (9:00 GMT), referendum polls closed at 5,579 voting stations in 32 councils across Scotland, with official results expected to be announced between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. local time on Friday. If the majority of Scots vote "yes" in the referendum, then on March 24, 2016, Scotland will become independent from the United Kingdom.
