A constitutional referendum was held in Croatia on 1 December 2013. The proposed amendment to the constitution would define marriage as being a union between a man and a woman, which would create a constitutional prohibition against same-sex marriage.^[1]^[2] 38% of eligible voters voted. After processing all of the ballots, the State Election Commission announced that 66% voted yes, 34% no, while and 1% of ballots were disregarded as invalid.^[3]

The referendum was called after a conservative organization U ime obitelji (“On Behalf of the Family”) gathered more than 700,000 signatures in May 2013 demanding a referendum on the subject.^[1] The initiative was supported by conservative political parties, the Catholic Church as well as by several other faith groups. The ruling left-wing coalition opposed the amendment along with numerous human rights organizations.^{[citation needed]}
