Counting is due to get underway soon for the family and care referendums shortly, which has been projected to have one of the lowest turnouts in State history.Voting began with a slow start yesterday, with turnout results projected to be mixed across the country by the time the polls closed at 10pm.
Mayo County averaged 40% at the close of poll, with larger turnout in towns than rural polling stations.If turnout does not exceed 50%, it will be one of the lowest turnouts in recent history. The referendum which sought to turn the university constituency into three separate constituencies passed, although the reform was never implemented.In this referendum, it would amend Article 41 to"provide for a wider concept of Family" in the Constitution.
Instead, the State would be obliged to recognise the family as being"founded on marriage or on other durable relationships".
