Constitutional amendment; increasing percentage of vote required to pass certain measures.
This bill proposes two constitutional amendments to Oklahoma law. It would raise the required voter approval threshold from a simple majority to 60% for two specific measures: voter-initiated petitions (referendums) and constitutional amendment proposals. The changes would directly affect voters and the legislative process by making it harder for initiatives and constitutional amendments to pass. The amendment to Article V Section 3 applies to referendum petitions, while the change to Article XXIV Section 1 applies to constitutional amendment proposals.
