H.J.Res.1016

Oklahoma HJR1016 proposes a constitutional amendment to remove the Legislature's and Governor's authority to set special election dates for measures.

Oklahoma HJR1016 is a joint resolution directing the Secretary of State to refer a proposed amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution to the people for approval or rejection. The amendment would modify Section 3 of Article V, currently allowing the Legislature or Governor to set special election dates for measures proposed by the people for a statewide vote. If passed, this measure would remove the Legislature's and Governor's ability to set those special election dates, leaving the timing of such elections to be determined by other means.
