Iceland goes to polls for referendum on European Union  ITVX

Icelanders began voting on Saturday on whether to reopen membership talks with the European Union in a referendum that’s testing the bloc’s geopolitical appeal.

VOTERS are heading to the polls to decide whether the country should resume long-stalled negotiations on becoming a member of the European Union

Icelanders vote today on whether to resume EU membership talks in a high-stakes referendum. Polls show the race is too close to call, with a slim Yes lead eroding in the final stretch. Results are expected early on Sunday.

Voters will be asked to answer ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to the question: ‘Should Iceland resume accession negotiations with the European Union?’

Iceland will decide whether to restart talks on joining the European Union in a referendum on Saturday, with President Donald Trump's threat to annex Greenland a motivating factor.
