Bill > HJR1048

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 add a new section to Article III. This amendment would establish specific rules for elections, requiring that the candidate with the most votes wins and that voters can only cast one vote per office, with each vote carrying equal weight. It also clarifies that this amendment would not prevent the Legislature from establishing a mandatory primary election system and that any future attempts to repeal this amendment through an initiative or referendum could only focus on repeal and not on making other changes. The resolution also includes the official "Ballot Title," which is a summary of the proposed amendment that voters will see when they vote.
