Bill > HJR1026

This Joint Resolution directs the Oklahoma Secretary of State to put a proposed amendment to the state Constitution before the voters for their approval or rejection. The amendment would change the requirements for petitions that propose amendments to the Constitution. Currently, a certain percentage of legal voters statewide must sign such petitions. This proposal would require that, in addition to meeting the overall signature threshold, at least fifteen percent of the required signatures must come from legal voters residing in each of Oklahoma's congressional districts, ensuring broader geographic representation for proposed constitutional changes. The resolution also specifies the ballot title that will be used to present this question to voters and outlines the process for filing the resolution.
