User blog comment:Saturn120/Scotland Referendum - Aye or Nay?/@comment-3139512-20140918132135

For those wondering about the referendum. The polls started at 7AM Scotland time (2AM ET, 1AM CT etc). They will be open until 10PM Scotland time (5PM ET, 4PM CT etc) and the first results will be announced at approx. 2AM Scotland time Friday (9PM Thursday ET, 8PM Thrusday CT, etc.). 4.2 million people are expected to vote which is 97% of eligible voters in Scotland so this is a huge event over there and for the rest of the world.

As for the Catalonia illegal referendum, I believe that will happen on November 9th.
