Iceland’s referendum on joining the European Union stays tightly contested as ballots are still being counted. One outlet reports the ‘No’ camp leads with 52.5% of votes, while the ‘Yes’ camp has 47.5%, with only a few ballots remaining to be counted in one of the country’s six districts.
Another outlet, reporting earlier counting, says the ‘Yes’ camp is ahead at 51.2%. It also notes that election officials caution against treating early figures as final, indicating a more reliable result may take longer to compile. Together, the reports show that early and later vote tallies differ but point to a narrow margin that could shift as remaining ballots are processed.
