Election to determine whether liquor may be sold by drink
If enough people in a city sign a petition — at least one out of every five voters — the city government has to hold a vote to decide whether liquor (not counting beer with 5% alcohol or less) can be sold or given away in that city. The city checks the petition against past election records to make sure enough real voters signed it.
