Hello friends! As some of you may be aware, a referendum will be held in Cygnia on 14 June. To help determine the outcome of the referendum, I would like to open the polls to all users on the wiki. You may cast your vote and, if you wish, switch it anytime until 10 February, when it will be locked and I will count the votes. The results as represented in this poll will contribute to the results of the referendum.
Context[]
On 29 January, Congress passed a bill entitled the Marriage Act Amendment Referendum Act, introduced by the Brandt Government. This act aimed to institute this referendum, which is in turn aimed at changing the Marriage Act of 1961, which is currently as follows:
| “ | Marriage means the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life.
Certain unions are not marriages. A union solemnised in a foreign country between: (a) a man and another man; or (b) a woman and another woman; must not be recognised as a marriage in Cygnia. |
” |
Should the referendum pass, the amended Marriage Act will read as follows:
| “ | Marriage means the union of two people, voluntarily entered into for life. | ” |
The question that the referendum itself asks is the following:
| “ | Do you approve the proposed law for the alteration of the Marriage Act entitled — 'An Act to alter the Marriage Act such that provisions restricting homosexual, bisexual, transgender, asexual, or otherwise queer individuals, from pursuing Marriage, are eliminated'? | ” |
