A YES vote means

Yes lifts the county dry-law ban on liquor sales, distribution, and possession, subject to state permits. Residents in currently dry areas could buy liquor locally.

A NO vote means

No keeps the county's current dry-law rules for liquor. Existing local exceptions stay in place, and this vote adds no tax.
