The country has voted to reject two changes to the Constitution, with both of Friday's referenda being rejected. 

The family amendment proposed extending the meaning of family beyond one defined by marriage and to include those based on “durable” relationships. It was defeated with more than 67% voting against. 

The care amendment proposed deleting references to a woman’s roles and duties in the home, and replacing it with a new article that acknowledges family carers. Some 73.9% voted no.
