Bill > HJR1029

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. This amendment, if passed, would add a new section to Article III of the Constitution, clarifying that only votes cast by United States citizens who are bona fide residents of Oklahoma will be counted when determining the outcome of any election for public office, including the selection of electors for President of the United States. The resolution also specifies the exact wording for the ballot title that voters will see when they vote on this proposed change, which will clearly state that the measure ensures only eligible resident citizens' votes are considered. Finally, it mandates that the Speaker of the House of Representatives file copies of this resolution and its ballot title with the Secretary of State and the Attorney General.
