CANEHILL, Ark. — The Arkansas Supreme Court has ruled that votes for Cane Hill alcohol sales will not be counted on Election Day.
The petition was for a "Local Option Election" to vote on whether liquor licenses could be granted in the district.
According to court documents, some of the canvassers were not residents of Arkansas, as required by law. Therefore, the signatures collected by those canvassers couldn't be counted.
"Because Cane Hill's local-option ballot initiative is neither an initiative nor a referendum petition, Cane Hill's paid canvassers are not 'canvassers' as defined in the general Election Code."
Although this will not change anything during the voting process, officials said this issue will not count.
