If a petition is filed under section 4301.332 of the Revised Code for the submission of the one or more questions set forth in this section, a special election shall be held in the precinct as ordered by the board of elections under that section. The expense of holding the special election shall be charged to the municipal corporation or township of which the precinct is a part.
At the election, one or both of the following questions as designated in a valid petition shall be submitted to the electors of the precinct concerning sales on days of the week other than Sunday:
(A) “Shall the sales of (insert one or both of the following: beer, or wine and mixed beverages) by the package, under permits that authorize sale for off-premises consumption only, be permitted in a portion of this precinct in which the status of the sale of (insert one or both of the following: beer, or wine and mixed beverages) as allowed or prohibited is inconsistent with the status of such sale in the remainder of the precinct?”
(B) “Shall the sale of (insert one or more of the following: beer, wine and mixed beverages, or spirituous liquor), under permits that authorize sale for on-premises consumption only, and under permits that authorize sale for both on-premises and off-premises consumption, be permitted in a portion of this precinct in which the status of the sale of (insert one or more of the following: beer, wine and mixed beverages, or spirituous liquor) as allowed or prohibited is inconsistent with the status of such sale in the remainder of the precinct?”
The board of elections shall furnish printed ballots at the special election as provided under section 3505.06 of the Revised Code, except that a separate ballot shall be used for the special election. One or both of the questions set forth in this section shall be printed on each ballot and the board shall insert in the question and statement appropriate words to complete each and a description of the portion of the precinct that would be affected by the results of the election.
The description of the portion of the precinct shall include either the complete listing of street addresses in that portion or a condensed text that accurately describes the boundaries of the portion of the precinct by street name or by another name generally known by the residents of the portion of the precinct. If other than a full street listing is used, the full street listing also shall be posted in each polling place in a location that is easily accessible to all voters. Failure of the board of elections to completely and accurately list all street addresses in the affected area of the precinct does not affect the validity of the election at which the failure occurred and is not grounds for contesting an election under section 3515.08 of the Revised Code. Votes shall be cast as provided under section 3505.06 of the Revised Code.
