The wording
Voters will be asked if they agree that:
"“Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex.”
Voters will also be asked if they want to replace this law:
"Every citizen who has reached his thirty-fifth year of age is eligible for election to the office of President."
With this proposed law:
"Every citizen who has reached the age of twenty-one years is eligible for election to the office of President."
The Referendum Commission has made impartial videos explaining why it's important to vote, and what you're being asked to vote on.
