Will the housemates be able to vote in the EU Referendum?

[zakman440]

With the EU Referendum set to happen on June 23 (surely Big Brother will have launched by then?), I was wondering if/how the housemates will be able to vote? As some of you may know, an election was called during Big Brother Australia 2013, with the housemates having to submit a postal vote. The leaders of the political parties also submitted some messages to the housemates - you can see what happened below.

My guess would be that something similar would happen here (but obviously not with party leaders, but with an 'In' and 'Out' campaign video).

They will all be too thick to know what referendum means

They would probably postal vote before they went in if they wanted to vote

I hope they do something like this, but it's different circumstances in Australia because you HAVE to vote and most of the bbuk stereotype housemates would probably choose not to. Although if they were shown two videos, they would probably have an opinion by the end and I reckon most if not all would end up choosing to vote. It'll be interesting to watch as well.

I remembered them being able to vote in the 2001 general election during BB2. So I assume they will.

I doubt most of them'd care but they voted during BB2 didn't they?

[MB.]

(yes, yes they did)

They'd think it was a twist.

They'd think it was a twist.

haha, knowing BB it probably would be a twist - they'd select the HM they like the least, and the Stay/Leave vote would apply to them as well...

The power housemate receives the deciding vote? :clap1:

If we used last year's housemates as an example of who would bother to vote, I think it would probably look something like this.
