Icelandic prohibition referendum, 1908

A prohibition referendum was held in Iceland on 10 September 1908, alongside parliamentary elections. In the first referendum to be held in the country, voters were asked whether they approved of a ban on importing alcohol. It was approved by 60.1% of voters. The ban was overturned by a second referendum in 1933.
