Bryan County residents Joe Williams and Jasmine Blade vote at the J.F. Gregory Precinct in Richmond Hill during Tuesdays election.
Two-thirds of local voters said yes to the sale of alcohol on Sundays in the unincorporated parts of Bryan County, but it was unclear early Wednesday exactly when the new law will take effect.County officials still were trying to pin down a date when Sunday sales can begin after nearly 67 percent of voters approved a referendum on whether such sales should be legal, but it’s likely to be at some point in 2015, they say. What was clear Wednesday was the support for Sunday sales, at least among voters. Though the results of Tuesday’s election are unofficial until approved by the secretary of State and there still were approximately 10 provisional ballots to be counted, 5,331 voters said yes to Sunday sales while 2,640 said no.
