Members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians rejected an expansion of liquor sales on the reservation.
Voters rejected three options: a tribal-run liquor store, liquor sales in restaurants and liquor sales in grocery stores.
They also approved a referendum that allows local communities to keep liquor sales out.
The vote means liquor will remain only at the Harrah's
Cherokee Casino.
