(UTV|COLOMBO) – A referendum to establish a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage in Romania has failed – after only a fifth of voters bothered to turn out.
Romanians were being asked whether they wanted the constitution changed to specify that marriage can only be between a man and a woman.
But just 20.4 per cent of eligible voters cast ballots – short of the 30 per cent needed.
The result may come as a surprise, as a poll on Friday indicated support for the change was as high as 90 per cent.
