Dona Ana County voters approved the selling of beer and wine in unincorporated areas of the county yesterday.
County Clerk Lynn Ellins stated that all ballots have been counted and only 33 provisional ballots remained to be reviewed. The referendum was to allow restaurants outside of Incorporated areas (city limits) of Las Cruces, Old Mesilla, Sunland Park and Hatch to serve beer and wine.
Low voter turnout was apparent early on with 1,336 voter casting ballots reflecting a little more than 3% of the total voters eligible to vote. The vote was 1128 FOR and 208 AGAINST.
The Dona Ana County Board of County Commissioners will meet on Friday at the County Governmental Center to conduct the required Canvass.
