Icelanders vote today on whether to reopen membership talks with the European Union, with islanders split down the middle after months of debate focused on cost of living, security and fishing waters. The race is too close to call, with a Gallup poll on Friday showing a narrow majority oppose reopening negotiations.
Yes campaigners say joining the bloc could ease high interest rates and offer more security amid the war in Ukraine and US threats over Greenland.
No campaigners argue EU membership would threaten sovereignty and fishing waters. If voters say yes, it would only open discussions, with a second referendum required to actually join
