Circleville – While some Ohioans enjoy the convenience of Sunday liquor sales, for others, the option depends on the results of local elections within their specific precincts.
Ohio law prohibits the general sale of intoxicating liquor, including beer, wine, and spirits, on Sundays. However, localities can hold special elections to allow such sales within their jurisdiction. These elections typically focus on permitting sales during designated hours, with two common options:
- 10:00 am – Midnight: This allows for Sunday sales with the same hours as some establishments operate on weekdays.
- 11:00 am – Midnight: This offers a slightly later start time for Sunday sales.
The decision to hold a Sunday sales election and the specific hours offered are determined by resident petitions and subsequent voting results. This means that even within the same county, some areas may allow Sunday sales while others do not.
