Bill > HJR1023

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, which would establish the "Oklahoma Rank Choice Voting Act." This new act would introduce a method for casting and counting votes where voters rank candidates in order of preference, and the tabulation process involves eliminating the last-place candidate in successive rounds until a winner with the most votes in the final round is determined. The resolution also defines key terms related to this voting system, such as "ranked-choice voting," "continuing ballot," and "exhausted ballot," and specifies that this system would apply to certain elected offices including U.S. Senator, Governor, and state legislative positions.
