Oklahoma Constitution; referred measures; Governor; special election; ballot title; filing.
This bill proposes a constitutional amendment to Oklahoma's Article V, Section 3. It removes the Governor's authority to set special election dates for measures referred to voters through initiative or referendum, requiring such measures to be voted on at the next regular statewide election instead. The amendment directly affects voters who seek to approve or reject legislation via referendum and the Governor's office, which would no longer control election timing for these measures. The ballot title for the proposed amendment explicitly states it eliminates the Governor's ability to schedule special elections for referendum votes.
