Amends subsection (c) GS 18B-600 (Places eligible to hold alcoholic beverage elections) to permit a city to hold a malt beverage or unfortified wine election only if the county the city is located in already held an election and the result was against the sale of the alcoholic beverage in question. Previously, the law also required that the city (1) have a population of 500 or more, (2) operate an ABC store, or (3) have a population of more than 400 but less than 500 or more and previously had a population of 500 in the previous census. 

Repeals subsection (c1) in its entirety. Previously this subsection allowed certain city elections for malt beverage or unfortified wine if the city met all the criteria of (1) the county where more than 50% of the city’s area is located held an election and the result was against the sale of alcoholic beverage in question, (2) the city has a population of 200 or more, and (3) the county where more than 50% of the city’s area is located also contains three or more cities already allowing malt beverage or unfortified wine sales.
