Oklahoma HJR1019 proposes a constitutional amendment to ensure every general election race includes candidates from every recognized political party.

Oklahoma HJR1019 proposes an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution, adding a new Section 6 to Article III. If passed, it would require that each general election race for federal, state, county, and municipal officers include a candidate from every political party recognized under Oklahoma law that had a candidate file for the race. The amendment would remain in effect unless repealed by a vote of the people through an initiative or referendum. The Legislature would have the authority to implement this section with appropriate legislation.
