Sunday sale for county won’t make May 20 ballot – Times-Georgian: Local News

Carroll County voters will have to wait until Nov. 4 to decide if they want Sunday alcohol sales in the unincorporated county.

They will also likely get a chance to decide, on the same ballot, about weekday and Sunday sales of alcoholic beverages by the drink.

Commission Chairman Marty Smith confirmed Monday that a resolution for the referendum won’t be on the agenda for the March 4 Board of Commissioners (BOC) meeting. A March BOC resolution would be needed to get the issue on the May 20 primary ballot.

Both Smith and Michelle Morgan, who represents a group of convenience store owners seeking Sunday sales, reached a mutual decision to push for a November vote, when the voter turnout will be higher.

“I think it’s more fair to vote in November, when more people will come out to vote,” Smith said.

Smith said County Attorney Cynthia Daley also recommended the issue of liquor by the drink be added to the resolution since the county currently doesn’t have sales by the drink.
