More people voted in favour of switching Arviat from a prohibited community to a restricted one, but not enough to actually cause a change.
There were 392 voters (52.6 per cent) in Monday's plebiscite who wanted to allow the purchase or importation of 8.552 litres of beer (24 x 355ml cans) and eight litres of wine (2 x 4 litre boxes or 10 x 750 ml bottles) every seven days.
