"Ireland Votes on Redefining Women's Role in Constitution"

Polls have opened in Ireland for two referendums on changing the constitution regarding family and care, with voters being asked to expand the definition of family to include non-marriage-based relationships and to remove a reference to the role of women in the home. If passed, different family units would have the same constitutional rights and protections, and gender-neutral language would be inserted regarding the provision of care. The counting for the referendums will begin on Saturday morning.
