Greens’ same-sex marriage petition most signed in portal’s history

ERR, October 2020

The Estonian Greens’ petition in support of same-sex marriage hosted on the Citizen Initiative Portal rahvaalgatus.ee is the most-signed in the website’s history. As of noon on Tuesday, the petition has gathered more than 30,000 signatures.

The petition launched by the non-parliamentary Estonian Greens party is calling for the Family Act to be amended to allow for same-sex marriage in Estonia. As it has gathered over 1,000 signatures, it is likely now to be debated in the Riigikogu.

Kadri Org, democracy expert at the Estonian CooperationAssembly/Rahvaalgatus.ee, told ERR News on Monday that “Petitsioon perekonnaseaduse muutmiseks” is the most-signed petition in the history of rahvaalgatus.ee website.
