Sylacauga Sunday Alcohol sales vote today

Sylacauga residents vote today on Sunday alcohol sales in a special called election.

The polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The voting place for the election is J. Craig Smith Community Center at 2 W. Eight St. in Sylacauga.

The election will be for the purpose of determining whether the public favors the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday after 1 p.m. within the corporate limits of the city.

This marks the first time Sylacaugans have been allowed to vote on the issue. The Sylacauga City Council passed a resolution in January asking the state Legislature to allow a referendum on Sunday sales.
