LJUBLJANA, Slovenia (AP) — Slovenians on Sunday voted in a referendum on a law to allow terminally ill patients to end their lives.

Parliament in the small European Union nation passed the law in July after voters had backed it in a nonbinding referendum last year. Opponents, however, have forced another vote on the divisive issue after collecting more than 40,000 signatures.

Guinea-Bissau votes as president seeks second term and main opposition party is barred
