    The deadline for registering to vote in the EU referendum has been extended, the government has said.
    Cabinet Office minister Matt Hancock said the government would legislate to extend the cut-off until midnight on Thursday.
    It follows a computer glitch which left some people unable to sign up before the original midnight Tuesday deadline.
    The Electoral Commission urged people to sign up until the end of Thursday in order to vote on 23 June.
    The glitch, blamed on record demand, lasted from 22:15 BST on Tuesday until after the midnight cut-off.
    Users reported a page displaying the message "504 Gateway Time-out" instead of the online registration form.

    We are aware that there were some technical issues affecting the online voter registration portal yesterday (7 June).

    It is vital that everyone who wants to participate in this historic referendum is able to.

    There was a very significant increase in applications to register to vote yesterday on the Government’s website. However, issues with the government website arose around 10:15pm and were not resolved until after the registration deadline at midnight. The Government are looking into exactly what happened.

    There will be many people who wanted to register to vote last night and were not able to. The registration deadline is set out in legislation and we have said to the Government this morning they should consider options for introducing legislation as soon as possible that would extend the deadline. We would support such a change.

    I hope they got permission from Brussels first.
