I was able to vote.
- toyg 5y agoThe eligibility criteria for this referendum were not linked to general rights to vote for the UK Parliament, there was a separate piece of legislation. You were probably classed as still living in the UK at the time.

Wikipedia: "The Representation of the People Acts 1983 (1983 c. 2) and 1985 (1985 c. 50), as amended, also permit certain British citizens (but not other British nationals), who had once lived in the United Kingdom, but had since and in the meantime lived outside of the United Kingdom, but for a period of no more than 15 years, to vote"
