| Crittenden County is one of 30 dry counties in Kentucky, but Marion voters head to the polls Tuesday to vote on that matter. |
It’s been more than 15 years since voters in Crittenden County expressed their opinion on alcohol sales at the ballot box. Next week, about a third of the county’s residents will again get that opportunity. On Tuesday, a special election will be held to decide the fate of alcohol by the drink in Marion restaurants seating 50 or more people.
