Oklahoma Constitution; amendments to the Oklahoma Constitution; voter approval requirements; ballot title; filing.
HJR 1013 proposes to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to require a 60% approval rate for any constitutional amendment, replacing the current majority (50%+) requirement. This change would apply to all constitutional amendments, whether proposed through citizen initiatives or by the Legislature. The bill also mandates that ballot titles for such amendments must explicitly state the 60% approval threshold. This policy shift would make it harder for constitutional amendments to pass, as they would need broader voter support.
