Liquor Moratorium Districts - Dry Precincts - KML - Historical

Published by data.cityofchicago.org | City of Chicago | Metadata Last Checked: June 26, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-03-25
NOTE: This dataset is historical-only. The Illinois Liquor Control Act of 1934 permits voters in any precinct in the City of Chicago to vote an entire precinct “dry” through a local option referendum. If a precinct has been voted “Dry/Dry,” no liquor licenses, other than a caterer’s liquor license, may be issued. If a precinct has been voted "Dry/Wet" no liquor licenses can be obtained for the consumption of alcohol on premise but the sale of package goods is allowed along with the caterer’s liquor license. The VOTE_DRY_I column is the Precinct/Ward which was voted dry. It reflects the Ward/Precinct that was effective at the date of the referendum. Ward/Precinct boundaries may have changed since that date. STATUS column indicates if the precinct was voted 'dry/dry' or 'dry/wet'.
