Voters in the former Yugoslavian republic of Slovenia decided in a vote ending Sunday to repeal a marriage equality law enacted by the country's parliament in March.



Around 63% of people who cast ballots in the election voted to repeal the law, according to preliminary tallies. This gave repeal voters enough ballots to make the vote binding under the country's election laws, which require at least 20% of all the nation's voters to cast ballots for repeal regardless of the margin of votes cast. That meant the repeal vote needed at least 343,104 votes; they got more than 380,000

Slovenia became the only country in Central or Eastern Europe with marriage equality after its parliament enacted a new law in March.

But opponents forced a referendum on repeal by gathering 80,000 signatures.
