Counting is under way in the Republic of Ireland on referendums to decide the fate of the Irish Senate, Seanad Éireann.
The Seanad is the upper house of the Irish Parliament and has existed for more than 90 years.
The current Irish government said it costs too much to run and is no longer necessary in the democratic process.
Opponents want it retained and reformed, saying it plays an essential role in holding governments to account.
More than three million people were eligible to vote on whether or not to abolish the Seanad.
Voters were also able to decide on whether or not to establish a Court of Appeal and implement other changes to the courts system.
Voting closed at 22:00 BST on Friday, results are expected to be announced by mid to late afternoon on Saturday.
