Bill > SJR27

This Joint Resolution directs the Oklahoma Secretary of State to present a proposed amendment to the state Constitution to voters for their approval or rejection, aiming to clarify who is eligible to vote. The amendment specifically modifies Section 1 of Article III of the Oklahoma Constitution, changing the wording from "all citizens" to "only citizens" of the United States who are over eighteen years old and bona fide residents of Oklahoma to be qualified electors, meaning only citizens will be eligible to vote, not other residents. The resolution also provides the official "Ballot Title," which is the text that will appear on the ballot for voters to read and understand the proposed change, and outlines the steps for filing the resolution with state officials.
