If a majority of the voters voting in any election held pursuant to this part vote ‘‘Yes’’, the activities enumerated in Section 45-37-27.03 which shall become lawful in Jefferson County on Sunday after 12:00 o’clock noon shall be lawful in each and every municipality or part thereof located in Jefferson County, even though a ‘‘No’’ vote may be cast by a majority of the voters living in such municipality who voted in such election; provided that nothing contained in this part shall be construed to permit the increased sale, distribution, or consumption of alcoholic beverages on Sunday in any part of any municipality located in any county other than Jefferson County. If a majority of the voters voting in any election held pursuant to this part vote ‘‘No’’, none of the activities enumerated in Section 45-37-27.03 shall be lawful on Sundays after 12:00 o’clock noon or at any other time on Sunday except during the two-hour period between midnight of the preceding Saturday and 2:00 o’clock, A.M., unless such activities at other times on Sunday are authorized by any law other than this part or by a subsequent election held pursuant to this part. If an election is held pursuant to this part in which a majority of the voters voting therein vote ‘‘Yes’’, and if a subsequent election is held pursuant to this part in which a majority of the voters voting therein vote ‘‘No’’, the effect of such subsequent election shall be to make unlawful all activities on Sundays after 12:00 o’clock noon that were made lawful by the prior election, but such subsequent election shall not have the effect of making unlawful any activity that was lawful prior to the election in which a majority of ‘‘Yes’’ votes were cast or that was lawful at the time of such subsequent election due to any law other than this part.
