Apart from the special April 1919 poll, all were held alongside general elections. No polls were held in 1931 (as a cost-saving measure during the Depression) or 1951 (because that year's snap election was held only two years after the 1949 poll). The licensing referendum was abolished in 1989. </p> <p> The first poll, in 1911, saw prohibition achieve a clear majority &#8211; 55.8% of voters. But as the threshold was then set at 60%, it wasn't enough. The closest results were in the twin 1919 referendums, held in April and December, when the threshold was a bare majority; prohibition polled over 49% on each occasion. The December 1919 poll also saw the introduction of a third option &#8211; state control of the liquor industry. Support for state control peaked at 20.2% in 1946. </p> <div class="panorama-caption"> <p> Ministry for Culture and Heritage </p> </div> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-upload field-type-file field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"></div></div><div class="service-links"><a href="http://del.icio.us/post?url=http%3A//www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/prohibition-vote-1911-87&amp;title=Prohibition%20vote%201911-87" title="Bookmark this post on del.icio.us." class="service-links-delicious" rel="nofollow"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/sites/all/modules/contrib/service_links/images/delicious.png" alt="del.icio.us" /> del.icio.us</a> <a href="http://twitter.com/share?url=http%3A//www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/prohibition-vote-1911-87&amp;text=Prohibition%20vote%201911-87" title="Share this on Twitter" class="service-links-twitter" rel="nofollow"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/sites/all/modules/contrib/service_links/images/twitter.png" alt="Twitter" /> Twitter</a> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A//www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/prohibition-vote-1911-87&amp;t=Prohibition%20vote%201911-87" title="Share on Facebook." class="service-links-facebook" rel="nofollow"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/sites/all/modules/contrib/service_links/images/facebook.png" alt="Facebook" /> Facebook</a> <a href="http://www.google.com/bookmarks/mark?op=add&amp;bkmk=http%3A//www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/prohibition-vote-1911-87&amp;title=Prohibition%20vote%201911-87" title="Bookmark this post on Google." class="service-links-google" rel="nofollow"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/sites/all/modules/contrib/service_links/images/google.png" alt="Google" /> Google</a> <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=http%3A//www.nzhistory.net.nz/media/photo/prohibition-vote-1911-87&amp;title=Prohibition%20vote%201911-87" title="Thumb this up at StumbleUpon" class="service-links-stumbleupon" rel="nofollow"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/sites/all/modules/contrib/service_links/images/stumbleit.png" alt="StumbleUpon" /> StumbleUpon</a></div><div class="field field-name-taxonomy-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/tags/prohibition" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">prohibition</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/tags/temperance" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">temperance</a></div></div></div> 14147 at http://www.nzhistory.net.nz /media/photo/prohibition-vote-1911-87#comments <p>Graph showing the changing prohibition vote at national elections from 1911-1987.</p> <a href="/media/photo/prohibition-vote-1911-87"><img src="/files/styles/mini/public/images/prohibition-graph.jpg" alt="Media file" /></a> Prohibition vote by soldiers cartoon /media/photo/prohibition-vote-soldiers-cartoon <div class="field field-name-node-image field-type-image field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><img typeof="foaf:Image" src="/files/styles/fullsize/public/images/soldiers-vote.jpg" width="500" height="523" /></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p> In this 1919 cartoon from <i>Truth</i> a publican and a priest, both showing signs of having been in a fight, kneel in supplication at the feet of a soldier.

Bennett. But because liquor-licensing districts were based on the general (European) seats, Maori voters (apart from so-called 'half-castes' enrolled in general seats) did not take part in local no-license polls between 1894 and 1914. Maori electors were also excluded from voting in national licensing referendums until 1949, the first election in which electoral rolls were used in the four Maori seats. </p> <p> There was one Maori 'dry' district, though: the King Country, or Te Rohe Potae, was declared a special no-license district in 1884, at the request of Ngati Maniapoto leaders. Although there were no licensed premises in the district, local Pakeha could bring in alcohol for their own consumption and a 'sly-grog' trade flourished. King Country remained 'dry' until 1954, when locals voted to restore licenses in a special poll. </p> <div class="panorama-caption"> <p> Alexander Turnbull Library<br /> Reference:
