Oklahoma Constitution; Judicial Nominating Commission; judges; vacancy; ballot title; filing.

This proposed constitutional amendment would change Oklahoma's process for filling judicial vacancies. It would require the Judicial Nominating Commission to submit three nominees for each vacancy, with the Governor (or Chief Justice if the Governor fails to act within 60 days) appointing one, subject to Senate confirmation by majority vote. The measure affects appointments to all state courts, including the Supreme Court and Court of Criminal Appeals. If approved by voters, it would replace the current system governing judicial appointments.
