Notification of Result of General Licensing Poll

PURSUANT to the Licensing Act 1908, I, Daniel Johnston Riddiford, Minister of Justice, hereby give notice that, at the General Licensing Poll held on 29 November 1969, valid votes were recorded as follows:

For National Continuance .. .. .. 901,471
For State Purchase and Control .. .. .. 240,942
For National Prohibition .. .. .. 174,560

Total valid votes .. .. .. 1,316,973

As the total number of valid votes recorded for either State purchase and control or national prohibition does not amount to more than one-half of all the valid votes recorded at the poll, the result of the poll is that national continuance is deemed to have been carried.

Dated at Wellington this 26th day of February 1970.
