Iceland Votes on EU Membership Negotiations

In Iceland, the referendum on resuming European Union membership negotiations has concluded, with results expected later today. Voting ended on Saturday, but the lack of exit polls means initial outcomes will take time to emerge.

Polling indicates a tightly contested race, with surveys showing a nearly even split between “yes” and “no” voters. This decision comes 13 years after Iceland’s previous government halted EU talks, and is spearheaded by the pro-EU Social Democratic Alliance.
