§ 3-8-305 — Elections for entire county, district, or city - Effect

(a) (1) No election in any town, city, district, or precinct of a county shall be held under this subchapter on the same day on which an election for the entire county is held. (2) When an election is held in an entire county and a majority of the legal votes cast at the election are against the sale, barter, or loan of spirituous, vinous, malt, or other intoxicating liquors, then it shall not be lawful to sell, barter, or loan any liquors in any portion of the county. (3) If, at an election for the entire county, the majority of the legal votes cast are in favor of the sale, barter, or loan of any liquors, the election shall not operate to make it legal to grant license to sell, barter, or loan such liquors in any territorial division of the county from which the sale, barter, or loan has been excluded by an election held under this subchapter, but the status of the territorial division shall remain as if no election had been held. (b) (1) No election shall be held in any election precinct under this act on the same day on which an election is held for the district or city of which the precinct is a part. (2) If, at an election held for the entire district or city, the majority of legal votes cast shall be in favor of the sale, barter, or loan of spirituous, vinous, malt, or other liquors, then the status in the several precincts thereof shall remain as it was before the election. (3) If the majority should be against the sale, then the sale, barter, or loan of such liquors shall be unlawful in every portion of the district or city.
