"The Open Ministry [Avoin Ministerio] is an official partner and has been involved in
planning and preparing the initiative and campaign for the Equal
Marriage Law initiative (in English read http://www.tahdon2013.fi/in-english/briefly/).
The initiative rewrote the history of internet democracy as almost 3%
of the whole voting population signed the initiative electronically on
the very first day. The threshold of 50 000 supporters needed to pass
the initiative to Parliament was met within 9 hours of launching the
campaign and by midnight some 120 000 people had signed the initiative
with their online bank codes or mobile phone."
