Next Tuesday, November 7, registered voters in Greenwood County will be able to cast their ballots for city positions, including Mayor and Council positions, School Board representatives as well as one “yes” or “no” question, which will read: “Shall the sale of alcoholic liquor by the individual drink in Greenwood County be allowed in public places without a requirement that any portion of their gross receipts be from sales of food?”
This vote will not directly impact voters; but, rather businesses who have liquor licenses. Currently, businesses who sell alcoholic beverages, must sell a certain percentage of food compared to the alcohol sales.
A “yes” vote would not require businesses to maintain a certain percentage of sales; where a “no” vote would keep the current regulations in place.
Voters throughout the county will also vote on various city and school board positions, with some seeking write-in elections. The following is a listing of those that filed for election:
