2016 Bermudian same-sex union and marriage referendum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A non-binding referendum on same-sex marriage was held in Bermuda on 23 June 2016.[1][2][3] Voters were asked two questions; whether they were in favour of same-sex marriages and whether they are in favour of same-sex civil unions.[1][2][3] While majority of voters voted against both proposals, the results were invalid as the turnout of 47% was below the 50% requirement.[4]
