Ireland made history last Friday, approving an amendment that enshrined marriage equality in the country's constitution by a wide 62-38 margin. As you can see in the map above, the "yes" vote carried a majority in all except one constituency, and passage of the referendum made Ireland the first country in the world to ensure marriage equality by popular vote. A bill to allow same-sex marriages is expected to be enacted by the end of July, and marriages would follow in early autumn.
Many news reports mentioned the high turnout for the vote, especially among young people. We explore that topic below the fold.
