Cobb County residents will go to the polls on March 6 to vote on whether to allow the retail sale of alcohol on Sundays.

County Commissioners voted 4-0 on Tuesday (Commissioner Woody Thompson was absent) for the referendum. If approved by voters, the Sunday sales would begin June 1.

Three of Cobb six cities — Kennesaw, Smyrna and Acworth — held Sunday sales referenda on Tuesday. Like Cobb, Marietta plans to hold its referendum in March.

Cobb is saving about $400,000 by holding the vote during the presidential primary instead of holding a special election.

DeKalb County’s Commission also decided Tuesday to place the issue on the March 6 ballot in that county.
