Postal votes are sorted in the Royal Highland Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland, on September 18, 2014, immediately after the polls close in the referendum on Scotland's independence. The question for voters at Scotland's more than 5,000 polling stations is "Should Scotland be an independent country?" and they are asked to mark either "Yes" or "No". The result is expected in the early hours of Friday. AFP PHOTO / LEON NEAL (Photo credit should read LEON NEAL/AFP/Getty Images)
