 The Social Credit government in power at the time did not considered the results binding.However the results of the vote led the government to repeal all existing liquor legislation and introduce an entirely new "Liquor Act".Municipal districts lying inside electoral districts that voted against the Plebiscite were designated Local Option Zones by the Alberta Liquor Control Board and considered effective dry zones, business owners that wanted a license had to petition for a binding municipal plebiscite in order to be granted a license.
