No Alcohol Sale in Effect Election Day

On March twelfth, just like in past elections, there will be restrictions on buying and selling alcohol. These restrictions start when the polls open at seven a.m. and last until midnight. Chief Elections Officer Josephine Tamai told News Five that the police will be making sure this law is enforced.

“ The law states that  liquor should not be sold on election day, right? And it goes up until midnight. So for that entire day, no liquor should be sold. Even when it comes to hotels, they should not be selling liquor. And so if persons are false selling alcohol on that day, then the police will charge them, because it is an offence.”
