FALKLANDS islanders will finish voting today on whether they want to remain British, amid increasing tensions with Argentina over the sovereignty of the territory.
The two-day poll is expected to overwhelmingly back retaining its status as an Overseas Territory of the United Kingdom.
Authorities in Port Stanley hope the result will send a clear message to Argentina as it ramps up its rhetoric over the islands it calls Las Malvinas, where it was defeated by UK forces in 1982.
