- Any municipality having an ordinance prohibiting retail sales or deliveries of merchandise on Sunday may repeal the same by a referendum election for the ratification or rejection of the ordinance. The mayor and council by resolution may request the county election commission to hold a special or regular referendum election for the ratification or rejection of the Sunday ordinance; provided, that the county election commission receives the necessary resolution requesting the election at least thirty (30) days before the date on which the election is scheduled to be held.
- At any such election, the only question submitted to the voters shall be in the following form:
“For ordinance prohibiting sale or delivery of retail merchandise on Sunday.
Against ordinance prohibiting sale or delivery of retail merchandise on Sunday.”
- The election commission shall certify the result to the mayor and council of the municipality. If a majority of those voting in the referendum favor repeal, the ordinance thereby shall be repealed. If a majority of those voting in the referendum oppose repeal, the ordinance shall continue in effect until legally amended or repealed.
- A referendum on this subject shall not be held more than once every twelve (12) months from the date of election.
