The UK prime minister called on British citizens to continue registering for the EU membership referendum.

LONDON (Sputnik) — UK Prime Minister David Cameron urged British voters on Wednesday to sign up for voting in the EU membership referendum, after the registration was extended due to the UK government website's crash earlier.

June 7 was supposed to be the last day when voters could register to take part in the referendum. However, huge demand caused online system overload two hours before the deadline. Thus, around 50,000 people could not register.
