Huh?
Here's the skinny.
This measure amends Article 28 of the Oklahoma Constitution. This Article deals with the sales of alcoholic beverages.
The amendment we'll be voting on removes the clause from Section 6 of Article 28 that bans the sale of alcoholic beverages by package stores on certain days. Package store sales of these beverages are prohibited on election days while the polls are open. This measure would remove the ban on sales on election days. If this measure passes, package stores could sell alcoholic beverages on election days.
What I wasn't aware of were the other passages in Section 6. They are listed as follows:
On the first day of the week, commonly called Sunday;
On Decoration or Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.
Okie's sure have some fun when they talk about when to get liquored up.
