Due to the fact that the Family Code starts to apply not earlier than one year following its implementation, the outcome of the referendum will not influence the occurrence of unconstitutional consequences. In the event of the rejection of the Family Code at the referendum as well as in the event of its confirmation, the legal position remains the same, and thus one year after the promulgation of the decision adopted at the referendum, the Marriage and Family Relations Act and the Registration of Same-Sex Civil Partnership Act will still apply. This period is the same, with minor deviations, as the period in which the National Assembly is bound by a referendum decision in accordance with the Referendum and Public Initiative Act. The possible rejection of the Family Code at the referendum can therefore not cause unconstitutional consequences.
