Not the First Time Nain Voted on Dry Community

When Nain residents cast their vote in the plebiscite on August 16, it won’t be the first time.

A similar vote was held in the 90s.

At that time Johannes Lampe was the Mayor of Nain.

Residents were given three options: yes to an alcohol ban, no to a ban or to allow alcohol in the community with restrictions.

The outcome of the vote was in favor of not putting a ban in place.

The upcoming plebiscite only has two options: yes or no to a dry community.

Residents will make their decision on August 16.
