Maine Revised Statutes Title 28-A. Liquors § 124. Results of vote

1. Determination vote. If the results of an election held under section 121 show that:

2. Effective date. The vote is effective on the first day of the month following the certification of the vote to the Secretary of State.

3. Existing licenses. The holder of any license issued and outstanding on the effective date of the local option vote that denies issuance of that type of license and specifically indicates that the existing privilege is to be voided shall immediately surrender it to the bureau. The bureau shall refund that portion of the unused fee paid.

4. Repeal or reconsideration. When a municipality has voted to accept or reject any local option question, the vote is effective until repealed by a new petition and vote as required by section 121 or 122. A negative vote on a question repeals existing privileges only if the petition clearly indicates an intent that it do so. No local option vote may be taken on the same question more than once in any one-year period.
